xyem: We were supposed to set off at 08:00.. ended up setting off at nearly 10:00!

I averaged 13.4km/h (8.3 mph) for 3 hours 45 minutes, managing to just about get to the lunch stop "halfway", 50.5km (31.3 miles) in before I ran out of time, as I was supposed to be picked up from the finish line at 14:15.

So I didn't make it this year, but I will probably be trying again next year.

Also: pain. My bike seat started hurting me about 10 minutes in >.< Feels like someone has hit me in the tailbone with a sledgehammer..
