National road rally

This weekend I completed the National Road Rally. I entered for the 'Platinum' award which entailed taking 6 bike tests and riding 540 miles through as many checkpoints as possible. My route took in 21 checkpoints from Leicester to Warrington, down through Shropshire and across to London before returning West to Chipping Sodbury. The route planner totalled 540 miles but between setting off and getting home the true mileage was nearer 845! 24 hours of biking joy. Very tiring but very, very enjoyable.
