Ben's Triumph

This should be required motivational reading for clydes:

https://optifat.blogspot.com/2007/05/...r-victory.html

"...It's the drive knowing now that I Can Do Whatever I Want! If I want to do it, I'll do it. Nobody is going to stop me, and certainly I won't stop myself. My body has gone from being a crypt for my mind to being a machine, a well tuned machine that will push me up any hill that I could ever come across."

Well done, Ben.

Wow, thanks Neil!! I'm adding a second post, as I decided to go out tonight and make sure I was past the 100 mile mark for the week. Well, managed to do another 11 miles . I had it in me to do another 7 to make the "day" a metric century, but I'll save that for a one-ride outing .
