Sunday cycle ride. We had planned a long cycle ride for Sunday. We were so certain we would do it that in the pub on Saturday night we told everyone that we were going to ride 100 miles on Sunday. We were a little bit late setting off on Sunday morning, sufficiently so that it was clear that we wouldn't be able to ride 100 miles before dark. Faced with this we decided to cut the ride short and just do about 80 miles.

Unfortunately we miscalculated and ended up riding over 94 miles, of which the last six or so were in darkness. We were too tired to even consider adding on another six miles to make a round hundred, so we finished the day worn out and a little disappointed.

Looking back, the ride was still quite an achievement. It was the longest ride Sue has ever done, and my longest for almost 18 years, and even if we missed the target of 100 miles we have the consolation prize of 150 kilometres.
