First Sportive 2012

Sunday 22nd: it is time for my first Sportive ride of the year. The Peterborough 100 is part of Action Medical Research's Ride 100 series and is a good ride to start with, I opted to take the 100Km route as my training rides this year have been very intermittent. This route was through eastern Northamptonshire and up to through Uppingham and round Rutland water, a really nice ride through some lovely countryside and with some challenging hills. I was pleased to finish the ride in 4:04 hours but suffered from cramp in my right leg due to not drinking enough...lesson learned!
