No going to start a new thread for this year, anyone doing the Festive 500 again.

 

This year I'm part of a group, so in theory should be much easier. Also a heck of alot fitter. 

Really looking forward to getting it done this year. Although, like last year, lots of rain predicted.

I'm never going to be a pro, I ride solo 99.9% of the time. I work 6 days a week and there is no one under my employ to do home maintenance and upkeep. I actually dont have the desire to spend any more time on the bike than what I do (ok maybe slightly more).

 

I am happy and content with my cycling / life balance.

Well this did not age well, I've spent a heck of alot more time cycling this year than I have ever before.

It is what you see it as .... personally I see it as a challenge to keep motivated during that specific period else is to easy to just chill out because everyone else is. I have accomplished it many years, last year 2022 I couldn't and 2023 I only managed 370. I had as much fun doing that than all the other times I finished it 😎

And I know I'm not the only one that sees it like that

Mmmmm I'm in a lot better place physically and mentally this year BUT .... finish this challenge keeping to my single speed only December commitment?

Yoh yoh yoh, will give it my best shot though!

62.5km per day gets one there. Should be manageable (for you)…😁
