Yep, absolutely amazing feeling - my legs were tired but I was
incredibly jubilant
It was tinged with a fair bit of "I can't quite
believe I actually did it" too, especially thinking about the hills and
how hard I find hills in general! I seem to have set my next milestone,
which is the cambridge 102km randonee at the end of sept... I *should*
manage the distance, and the speed too, but.. it's further than I've
done before, so you never know...
Had a great ride at the weekend too, which'll be posted separately.
Shame you didn't manage to make it - and that the bike got squashed,
too! You were ok, I hope, or at least recover-ed/ing well?
