The weather here is looking good, temperatures are reasonable for the week, and apart from a bit of rain forecast for boxing day, it's looking perfect for riding.

Realized I have to go away on the 27th. Not sure how I'll go getting 500 by then.
Might have to do some more kms before bed tonight.

I was hoping to do a 150+ as a starter but when it came time to do the next loop I was starting to feel shagged so went home.

Will probably end up with 100km for the trip if I take a few detours on the way!

The group had 7 flats, one was a MadFibre exploding (again) then someone cut their finger while inflating on the spoke.
There was one crash, and one very near miss which almost took the whole group down.
A new record of incidents involving motorist road rage.
Strava calculated the not moving component of the ride at 2hr 45mins, you have to laugh.
