My Rapha Women’s 100 ride in pictures. 20 July 2014.

When Strava’s Rapha Women’s 100 rolled around this year, I clicked ‘join’ with a certain amount of reckless trepidation. I hadn’t ridden 100km since April, my iron stores were through the floor, and I was in hospital having a colonoscopy on Monday.

Hoping the weather (and my saddle-sore butt) would last the distance, I set out with clubathletica on a perfect powder blue morning. We took photos along the way and stopped for a seriously delicious brunch at the half-way point in Fremantle.

Although my sit-bones were hurting from the get-go, my suffering wasn’t noteworthy until the 82km mark, after which I well and truly earned my Sufferlandria badge. Let’s say my most hated surface is the concrete slabbed path past the SAS barracks.

For all the coasting with my tush hovering above the seat, I still managed to achieve my goal of keeping my average speed above 21kph - slower than last year but circumstances were different. And there you have it: 103km completed along with thousands of other women cyclists all around the world. Congratulations all.

A hot shower, pj’s, tea & mashed bananas on toast later, I was ready to pat myself on the back. Hubby took me out for fish & chips and a celebratory glass of wine but I was almost too weary to eat! Not sure I’ll be staying up to watch Le Tour de France finish tonight…
