105 miles - challenge met.

105 miles today. Felt great and finished with energy and concentration to spare.

The back story to this ride started 2 years ago on this date. I was 5 stone heavier, unfit as they came and a heart attack waiting to happen! My dad was critically ill & this promoted me to do something about my own health for me and my family. It was also the wee mans first day at nursery so I had a wee but more time and no more excuses about time.

On that 1st morning I made myself a promise that within 2 years I'd complete a major physical task - I had no idea. The gym & healthy (ish) eating went well & the weight fell off and fitness built & this time last year I bought my first road bike from the excellent Leslie Bike shop - my challenge was born. In the last 12 months I've ridden 2500 miles plus 500 miles of sprints in the gym leading to today's challenge.

Job done. Now what next?
