October 2016 - It so very nearly came to an end this month, but I have just about managed to keep the RRTY going with a 200 km DIY - the AAARTY came to an end thanks to horrid nightwork in Manchester ruining my one last chance.
November 2016 - 200 DIY from home to Mum's via Herefordshire, a flat traverse across the Severn Valley and then into the hills of the Cotswolds. It's borderline for AAA I am waiting to hear, but one thing is for certain, the RRTY is done, finished, third consecutive year
I am pretty proud of myself for getting through this time, it feels like a big achievement. What with a broken arm in March and tandeming with the great Steve Abraham, burnout later and a complete loss of interest in road biking, I've actually had to work hard to stick at it in 2016.
