Hi guys,
If anyone remembers, a few months ago i posted a thread asking about aerobars coz i was participating in a 24 hr charity endurance ride. (I didn't use aerobars in the end.)
Well, the ride was yesterday/today and I managed to ride 15 hrs (2x 118km loops) without major stopping, and broke off for a nap, before i got up in 5 hrs and did the distance between another 1.5 pit stops in the morning rain. The total (the guy told me but i forgot) was about 300 odd kms.
I had so many setbacks in training in the last few months that i wondered if i could do it. I guess I did alright. I could have tried to do it without the break, but then I have an exam tmw and I needed to be alive for that. Maybe next year I'll try again. do 4 loops or something. (some guys in the ride did 5 loops..)
Ok that was just a quick update (in case anyone was interested.. hehe) I need to study now. exam tmw!! (my entire body is aching majorly)
Cheerios! DEe
