Sometimes it just doesn't work out

This was meant to be a 600 after work out to the fens of Cambridgeshire but a few things worked against me in the lead up which meant I started out tired and lacking sleep. I pulled up near Peterborough and rode back to Northampton to catch the train back home.

Nice sunrise! Rest well. Thanks for sharing.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I am very impressed with the ride you did. The cloud photo was brilliant. It would be good if you put the Strava image of your route up , so that viewers who don’t know the area very well can get a visual image.
Same question about the hydration pack.

[@biking261]

Ok I will do that next time

[@jameshawkins1339]

Well done for trying. How did you get on with the hydration vest? - what is it's capacity?

[@biking261]

It’s 1.5 litres so doubles what I would normally carry once on I forgot about it so that’s good although I wish the fluid would come out faster

@@biking261 Thanks. I also think I should be drinking more as I feel pretty achy and struggle to sleep after a long ride. I suspect dehydration is a factor. I used Camelbak packs when mountain biking and the liquid flow from them was great. The bags I had were basically rucksacks and so a bit heavy for road riding. I might look at their lighter designs.
