Almost a year ago I completed the Great Kent Cycle. I was reading my ride review to remind myself how things went last year. Why you may ask? Because on the spur of the moment I did it again today! Other commitments I had disappeared so I had no excuse but to go to the ride. As my lack of posts has indicated this year I have done very few long rides so I wasn’t sure how things would go.
As we arrived in Ashford it was spitting with rain, but we had been assured that this would clear. We set off at 8am on rather wet roads. The further we went though the better the weather got. Most importantly unlike last year there wasn’t a wind coming across the coast and comparing my spilt times to last year I was up to 30 seconds a mile quicker on these sections.
Also unlike last year I pedalled up all the hills! In the end I was just 3 minutes off last years time, over 60 miles thats not bad!
