Had a great day, great cake stop, route fantastic and well signed although I still missed a few by not paying attention 🙄
Got round the 100k in just over 5hrs on my Anthem, was hoping for around 4.30ish but started right at the back so inevitably I was going to get held up when there was no place to overtake or when people got off to walk, no problem though as it was fun all round and I finished strong with lots left in the legs. Pretty impressed by all the SS's I saw doing the 100k. Loved all the climbs 😈 and the descents although the last one was a bit greasy.
Was following a guy on a CX down hill on the road when he got on the drops and into a tuck and started to pick up speed, so I got my arse off the back and got into a tuck as best I could, caught him, and almost passed him 😯 on an MTB with 28/32 in the tyres, quite chuffed with that.
Didn't enjoy the field of a thousand rocks, bet the CX boys and girls loved that. Anyhow my goal was to get my nutrition and bike sorted for the Kielder 100, bike is fantastic, pretty bloody quick and the stuff I put down my neck worked, job done.
Now looking forward, to a few weeks off the bike eating and drinking what I want and generally doing nothing, before I start training again.
