That was NOT a good idea!

Riding 20km, after having ridden the bike for the first time since about 2000, 2001ish? around the block yesterday to make sure it didn't fall apart!

Still, I survived, and finally managed to get off the torture-machine after 1 hour, 3 minutes of dusty, corrugated dirt road: more or less what I expected but way slower than some of the serious dudes!


Next time, maybe a bit of preparation would help, but then 3 days wasn't much warning that I would be taking part rather than helping out :-(

Still, as a team, we didn't actually come last, but I have my running partner to thank for that ;-)

I think I will be immobile for the next day or two.
