Longest ride of the year for me too today. Really didn't fancy climbing big hills, so I stayed close to the coast today instead doing a tour of the Dovey Estuary. Weather started out gray and gloomy, but didn't rain and it slowly cleared up through the day. Ended the ride at some friend's house to meet up with BF. Then we had a surprise call from a couple of friends who live in Switzerland saying they were about to stop by. Gave them a tour of the town and dinner at a Chinese restaurant before they headed off again and I could finally have a shower. Definitely feeling it in my legs now: 51.6 miles and according to the gps I did 4800ft of climbing on what is the flattest route I could think of.
