Good effort,will have to pull my finger out and do a long ride soon. And not waste time doing selfies on the bike !
Concrete boat (https://fabulousnorth.com/cretehawser-wreck/) on the Sunderland leg of the C2C route. Pretty brutal today, 132.84km/82.54 miles with 1065m/3494ft of elevation. Was kinda hoping to hit the 100 mile mark and felt pretty good up until about 75 (previous max was around 71) when I started running out of steam majorly but oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained. Didn't really keep up with eating as much as I should have, headwind for a good half of it didn't help either, managed some good stretches on roads I'd normally avoid which more than made up for it. Think I need to do either some cleat adjustment or try a slightly smaller pair as started getting pain around halfway through, and was limping by the time I got home
Sometimes things just don't go to plan. A couple of miles into the planned ride along the first part of the South Downs Way the left pedal started feeling a little strange. It then seized up and started to unscrew itself. Hmmmm not good. I stopped before any damage was done and scooted the bike home.
