I've completed the bike ride 51km well within #audaxuk time.
But it was hard!
Lumpier than expected, hotter than forecast, and the wind was gusting in all directions - none of them favourable to me.
I can't say that more than 10% of the ride was scenic - Northamptonshire has some lovely areas and villages, but I didn't see much of that today.

Back home from a 55km wedding anniversary cycle ride.
By heck it's hot out there!
I was starting to struggle more than a bit towards the end.
Rode for a while with someone doing a 200km Audax ride from his home in Wrexham - chapeau!
Had lunch at the Stoney Cove diving centre café - cheap and cheerful with a good view over the 'lake'.
