Monday Morning Motivation – London to Holyhead 1964

53 years ago, people were getting up to incredible feats. This short documentary shows the longest unpaced single day classic cycling race. It took place in 1964 (not 1962 as the caption says). The incredible cyclists pedalled all of the way from London to Holyhead!
Does that inspire you to get out on your bike for a ride this week?
2018 Running Awards
Thank you to everyone who’s voted for Fat Girl to Ironman so far – there’s still time to cast your vote in The 2018 Running Awards.
That’s Awesome! Interestingly, they did the first 100 miles in 4:45… I ride faster than that. Kinda neat.
Oh, it should be acknowledged… They had 165 to go after that. That’s a big day!
That’s speedy – it definitely takes me a lot longer to do 100 miles… and I’ve never done more than 110 in a single day.
Thanks. I’ve done 125 once but I learned that 100 is enough!
I wasn’t quite ready for that jaunty music so early in the morning! God bless ’em, but having been in Holyhead many times, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry to get there 😉
