I’m doing the Rapha Festive 500 this year – riding 500KM between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. This was my first ride on Christmas Eve when it was damp and therefore very muddy. Not shown here is me cleaning the GoPro lens many many times during the ride.

This was a ride between Sheringham on the North Norfolk coast, Blakeney, Wells Next the Sea, Fakenham, Holt and back to Sheringham. The full route is on Strava.

This ride was 104KM, which is a decent amount to knock off on the first day of the challenge.

Note: I didn’t take my GoPro for Ride #2 so there won’t be an entry for that.
