2021 Rapha Festive 500

[HdB]

Easy 32km coffee ride this morning to get past 500km with outside rides

Now to do absolutely nothing for a few days!

Last day of the year is my son’s birthday - well done to all you endurance freaks

Round the block for 399m would be as sad the very personality type this is happenstancely hitting between the eyes.

Did my first Festive 500. Would not have happened if not for Zwift and some virtual speed generated by friendly chatty group rides.

This also brings up my longest distance year ever. 
was going strog till covid put me down, took my time to make sure i have no lingering effects, and then works happened, with early mornings, late nights and many kms walked on site.

so December was the month to get back into it. Once again, if not for Zwift, the consistency wouldn’t have been there. Sure, lots of peeps dont understand it, and derive no enjoyment from it, I have been a long time user, and it is as much a oart of cycling for me, as inflating tyres, and lubing a chain is.

 

Have a great 2022 all, congratulations on all your achievements, Kudo’s and Ride on!

Managed to finish my first Rapha 500. All done on my mtb. Missed out last year, by 30km and that wasn't happening again. So did a 105km this morning. 😁

Well done everyone on completing your Rapha 500

I've only done it on a 100Km ride before (got asked on the next ride why I didn't ride that extra 10m).

Thanks to mecheng89 for starting the thread and all who participated, all providing motivation for myself to actually get out do the miles.

Due to work commitments my longest ride this year was only 63 km and that was back in February, needless to say i broke that record this week.

 

Today was a fittingly beautiful day for riding

 

 

 

I dont plan to do anymore riding for the rest of the year, and thats no bull

Not the first last-minute red bull victory for 2021...

Brilliant - I actually planned to do this to annoy a mate and because my garmin didn’t update miscalculated by 1k

[Wayne pudding Mol]

With 8km to go I took this photo outside my mates farm to let him know he’s lazy

500km in about  26 hours 

90 percent gravel and just over 7500

I’m pleased I did it

Can’t add - my elevation was exaggerated
