Day 1 - Xmas Eve

First ride of the challenge in the books. It was only a short one as I only had the morning to play as I had to pack and head over see my Folks.

This ride is my Recovery Sunday ride as it's quite a flattish ride where I can spin out high cadence.



What I can say is that it was a tough one as the winds were blowing pretty hard from the West. There were times where I felt like I was putting out more than ever, but not really gaining any additional speed.

As cyclists we all know that if you brave the headwind in a ride your likely to get your reward when you head in a direction with the wind on your back. The ride was mostly headwind at the start and tailwind in the end, just how I like it.

Completed my target mileage and made it back home feeling good for the rest of the challenge.
