Day 1 - A New Year Riding On Dark Roads

It has to be said that getting up at 4am was not an easy thing to do but boy was it worth it. Off to Harlow for a 5.30am drop off ready to ride my favourite route. The roads were dark, silent and empty. Riding the central white line in warm conditions it was pretty much perfect. As I approached Haverhill the sky the first day of the year was just beginning. A delightful 50 mile ride where the mind is free to think about the mlong and tough journey to Mexico later in the year!! DECA is coming..............
