Well that is my cycling target (10k miles) for the year accomplished with over a couple of weeks to spare. Its been a busy year with only one real disappointment and that was the DNF in the Gralloch UCI Gravel Qualifier in May after a major puncture just 10 minutes into the race. Otherwise there was the win in the IoM Gran Fondo which led to the qualification for the Gran Fondo World Championship in Perth where I was the 2nd British finisher and 20th overall. The final main event was the 5-day Haute Route Dolomites whare I achieved my target of finishing in the top 50 and was 8th in my age group. Just one final target to reach before the end of the year, 600h of cycling so just 24h to go. Next year ?? Firstly unfinished business with the Gralloch.
