Did a round island ride (100+kms) but behind someone who'd never ridden more than 40kms at any one go ever. Needless to say It was painful, but I'd promised to stay behind him for the ride. He was hard to motivate though. a tad too sarcastic for my liking. And because of his speed holding back the entire group, we all got stuck in the rain at the end, 3am in the morning sitting at a very wet macdonalds in the mad wind. Had to ride home in a drizzle at 3.30am. But completed 104km at night. under 6 hrs even though we were CRAWLING (17-20 km/hr) Good ride to train up endurance for next weekend's ride. I'm riding into Malaysia! A town 130km up north from us. I think the sun will be the biggest challenge. cloudless and scorching. the kind that gives u blisters... excited!!
