Andy (L2P '09) has just done a triathlon (2.5m swim:100 mile cycle: and then a full marathon)...al I can say is RESPECT to you guys...
Anyway I have had this kettering to Nottingham cycle in the back of my mind for some time so I decided to bite the bullet & go for it...after all it's only 56 miles!
Set off at 0700 and met up with Tim who joined me for a few miles before he headed home.
