Medway Big Ride! Started off at 08.00 hrs and for the first 18 miles done ok, thought this was going to be a breeze. However, all up hill to the first resting station at 28 miles. This was a well earnt rest. After a few cheese and ham rolls and lots of fluid, set off for the next stage.
The next resting station was at 40 miles by this time I was out of energy, I was starting to hurt and was not looking forward to the last 10 miles, of mostly uphill climb.
After 50+ miles and hurting all over I managed to get to the finish line. Greeted by cheers and my medal. However, I just wanted to curl up and sleep.
After 4hrs and 45 mins of hard cycling time and 5 1/2 hours since we first left the starting line, I felt really good and glad I decided to enter.
