173 km to go
Emma flew home last night, so feeling a bit sorry for myself I decided to have a cheeseburger, fries and a chocolate. What a fucking twat I am, seriously felt like shit afterwards and regretted it.
Decided the only suitable punishment was to hammer 100 kilometers the next morning. The summer heat is here with a vengeance now, along with the humidity. At 7 am, it was 85f (29.5c), with the real feel sitting around 90f (33c) and humidity at 60%. Keeping hydrated is now an art form, I see many guys riding with just one bottle, I have no idea how they do it to be honest.
I felt incredibly strong, including the 20 km’s I was riding in a very strong group of gents (average speed was 39 km/h along the straights). At this rate of progress, I see myself being able to push the overall distance covered in one day to around 150 km’s.
Stats, because we all love stats right?
