Not too bad, 57 laps, I did an hour and then stopped for 15 mins, did some more, then stopped for 30 mins, as I started to feel ill, then did some more, but finished!

Solo rider too

Team is the way forward next time, as I recon with 3 or 4 of us, whilst I was resting the others could have done another 40 easy.

I am pretty happy with that anyway, considering I had only done about an hour up untill this morning and had done next to no training!

Cheers

Hi

You did the triathlon, how you get on?

You may have to wait untill 2020 for the next penny race, but it is worth waiting for!

Cheers

For some reason I go into a great relaxed state when on the PF, even if I am just riding to the shops, it is one sure way to unwind, no one can rush me, so I just go nicely!
