29-Mar-2015:  I did it again!  Decided at the last minute to again ride this charity ride for 56 Kms. Now, last year I rode my alloy cross-trail cycle and took 3 hrs, 23 minutes. Last Sunday I used my carbon road bike but only improved the time by 23 minutes.  I was surprised I didn’t demolish my previous time by much more. Maybe not quite as fit?  Well after all it’s a charity ride, not a race!  After taking the next day off, it was back on the road for me this morning!  This autumn weather in late March is wonderful to cycle in!
