2020 RR X CCC The last 40 miles.
26.10.20
Ride 13 - 39.8 miles to go.
With under 40 miles remaining and just several late afternoons available for me to ride I am hoping to box off in three of four short and sweet rides.
Today's was as simple as they come in a 13 mile loop.
And yes you guessed it. I was once again caught out by the horizontal rain! But when you are only 5 miles from home it doesn't even make you swear.
498.37 miles down. 26.63 to go. 28736ft climbed.
Ride 13.
D. 13.17 miles.
E. 899ft.
27.10.20
Ride 14 - 26.63 miles to go.
Last night I logged in to my Garmin account and just for fun let it plot a 26 mile ride. (first time doing this).
In my head I was thinking, lets just box this off in one last go. Even though I may find myself riding in the dark for an hour of so.
The weeks weather forecast just looked miserable and by now I'd really had enough of riding in the pouring rain.
It turned out to be a great little route, kinda like a mystery tour. I was cycling parts of Wigan that I had never even seen before, both on and off road.
Enjoyed a little more climbing up two or our famous local hills. (Ashurst and Crank).
And of course, it would not have been complete without getting caught in yet another torrential downpour.
It is fair to say that the English weather this month has played its part. I was hoping to do a century ride but conditions and day light hours just didn't quite allow for it. I did manage to get a handful of half centuries in and I was joined on a couple of rides by two great friends (Cheers AC and H).
After what has been a far tougher challenge than I had anticipated. I am proud to say that I have hit my mileage target of 525 miles and so far raised over $800 for The Arthritis Foundation.
A big thank you to all those who have donated!
It feels good to write this >>> 525 miles down. 0 miles to go!
PLEASE LORD LET NEXT YEARS RIDE BE OVER IN CALIFORNIA!
Ride 14.
