I’m doing an ACP 200k on Jan 10th so I’m in the process of preparing myself for that. The company I work for closes for Christmas through New Years, two full weeks this year, so I have next week to get some more rides in.
That sounds like an amazing ride. It's so cold, wet and dark here, I'm starting to feel not quite human and it's hard to find the motivation to ride.
