"Rapha and Strava are challenging riders around the world to clock 500 kilometers between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve"
And despite the fact that the weather was APPALLING(!) I got a bit OCD about it... If I wasn't riding I was planning my next route. For those of you interested, ridewithgps.com is a great site for planning routes to upload to a Garmin. Because it was so windy, routes were sort of planned so I'd get the headwind on the way home. Great fun and riding on Christmas day with empty roads was a blast!
Interestingly on the Saturday just passed, I didn't go out on my bike- the weather was awful... yet during the Festive 500 I braved anything to get the miles in... yet on this day... I missed it! I got bored! I didn't know what to do with myself! CRAZY!
Dropped a bit of weight and strengthened my legs up considerably. It would be nice to be able to commit to that every day... even an hour every day. Not likely but I'll try for more hours in the saddle...promise!
The results came in today...
26,667 cyclists, globally, participated
collectively riding 7,616,045 kms
7,394 completed the challenge
of those I was ranked 4,540
Happy with that!
