Like Chris S, toady I've mainly been cycling along A-roads for my December ride. I've done about 209 km, of which all bar 33 km was on A-road, and the remaining distance was along a decent B-road. The route would be awful in summer, but today it was OK. It was really nice to be out and there were some very pretty snow covered fields covered in Lincolnshire. The weather was always above freezing, as evident by the drizzle that hit me somewhere after Lincoln. I ended up taking over 13 hrs for the ride, but then I did spend over 4 hrs at my grandparents and aunt & uncles place being fed dinner and guzzling wine. It makes a solo DIY that much more sociable. *Hic*. Oh, and that completes my first RRtY
. In celebration my final proof of passage purchase was 8 bottles of Hoegaarden.
