Etape du dales

Well today was the etape du dales, I had began to wonder why I had entered it, it seemed a very hard ride. Pete came and picked me up at 5am and we headed off to get an early start. I think we were both worried that it we would miss the cut-off after 69miles. As it turns out I rode better than I think I have before. My official finishing time was 9:07:28 which gives me an overall average of 12.1mph.

total distance 110.8miles
