Hertforshire 100

Rhythm and drafting is so important on a long ride. Without it, you constantly feel like you’re battling away, that every pedal stroke is laborious and slow. We left London far too late to set off with the peloton on the morning of the Hertfordshire 100, and consequently the ride was one of the slowest and most tiring i've ridden. Glad we opted for the 34 mile ride, the demanding climbs they call little Austria, five miles to the end were exhausting. Nevertheless the scenery of rolling hills didn't disappoint. Total riding time: 3 hours 48 minutes, total distance: 34 miles.
