#August150 update but looking tricky for #K100...

OK, today was not an awesome ride. Tricky slimy descents, that I rode better than last time admittedly, and tricky, nadgery climbs that made my legs burn. Perhaps Mondays jaunt took more out of me than I thought it did. Perhaps my poorly spell made me weaker than I thought/hoped....


Or perhaps, just perhaps I am not as fit as I wanted to be by now. (Just in case it is not clear, I am not as fit as I wanted to be now, the perhaps is me being nice to myself!)

Averaged just under 9 miles an hour which is quick enough for Kielder to miss the cutoffs. Only a 13 mile ride though so not really an indicator for a big ride, but I am still recovering from being a poorly boy (that is the bit where you all go "ahhhhhh"). The only thing that is for sure it that the Kielder 100 will be starting at 6.30am on the 4th of September and I will be there, on a bike, with a race number, quietly papping myself :-)

Sometime in the evening I will get back to the campervan and probably start deciding what I did wrong and how I will sort it next year. Haven't yet done an event and said never again at the end of it. I am a glutton for punishment and I don't think this will be any different.
