A few weeks ago I was scanning my Facebook wall when I noticed a post from Rapha. It was a challenge to ride at least 500 km in the eight days between Xmas Eve and New Years Eve. After my ride to work challenge in November I felt I needed another one to motivate me to ride during the coldest days.
So here I am on day before the challenge begins and my bike is ready with a new set of Gatorskins.
My ride plan for the next 8 days is all in place.
On the first day I've got a short 32 mile ride planned as I only have a few hours in the morning before driving over to my Mums for a Xmas Dinner lunch.
Xmas and Boxing Day are both out of my Dads place just south of Bury St Edmunds in some slightly new territory. They are 38 and 46 milers.
The following day is a free day with no ride planned, yet!
Next up is a 70 miler which pit stops in Royston where I'll stay overnight and complete the remaining 20 miles in the morning back home. Here I'll spin out another 40.
Following two days include a 62 and a 60 mile rides.

Total mileage for all rides is approximately 348 miles.
Let's hope for good weather and zero incidents so that I get to enjoy the challenge in its entirety. I also wish the best of luck to all other challengers.
