    Finished on Friday
    Admittedly it's a bit nicer doing down this end of the world :)

    Wrapped it up with a gentle spin on the flat today, was actually suffering more with the cold than usual because my HR was low, which was kind of interesting.

    Totalled 511.2 km / 5431 m.

    Just about all of it on roads like this one (Ballaghbeama Gap), and not a single puncture. Kerry roads are not half bad!

    Managed to get to 412kms. I had to work five 13 hour shifts during the week so it seriously hampered my effort.

    501.5kms 2869m starting on the 26th. Broke the back of it with long flat spins in the Midlands. Very cold and a couple of days of uncomfortable headwinds but a great blast across the bogs of Offaly on a dead straight road with a 40kph wind directly at my back on Friday! Finished with an easy 30kms on utterly dead legs yesterday.

    112km yesterday to brink the total to 505, on saturday came home from an 80km spin to realise I I had 358km done, so decided to go out and do another 35km, had 2 days off the bike, 2 days of intervals and a cold for the 8 days, but happy to have it finished :)
