I love cycling. I feel this is not particularly controversial or shocking for someone who works for a cycling magazine to say. In fact, I ride a decent amount - not as much as some others, and not as much as I probably could do - I’ve done about 5,000km in 2023. I even cycled from Bristol to Southampton for Christmas at the weekend.
For all that cycling, and my professed love of going quite far, I will not be doing the Festive 500. In fact, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever complete it, try to, or even get particularly close, unless I do it by accident.
