So the rides began early in 2009 with entry to 'The Hell of Ashdown', a 100km sportive. My first ever and what a start......anything with the word 'HELL' in the title should be avoided! It wasn't too bad though, lots of nasty hills and it was on the same day that the last lot of snow arrived, Sunday 1st Feb. It took me around 4hours, 45mins.......... I expect to cut a big chunk off that this year!!!
Okay, not wishing to bore you all, 2009 saw me ride in two more sportives, 1 audax, across the Canadian Rockies, London to Amsterdam (twice), and across Rajasthan in India.
These were the exciting ones, there were many more local club & training rides.
Oh, and having tried riding a fixie that was lent to me on one of the Amsterdam trips.....I got hooked and bought my own in October, at the bike show.
