It’s a long way to Tipperary

Wednesday

After the big ride on Tuesday, I was tired heading out today for another 100+ day. Didn’t help that I had to do battle with the morning traffic in the city - it’s amazing how quickly you simply abandon all pretence of being a law abiding cyclist and just act like...
