130km ride completed

I rode the 130km ride organised by Västerås CK. (get a google translation of this site).

We were about 20 cyclist, and rode together (for most of the way), which is why it went so fast. When I spoke to one guy at the front I said that I could keep up on the flat and down hill, but tended to get left behind up hill. He said the fast boys 'ride like madmen!'

One other (older than me) man and I couldn't keep up towards the end, and dropped back. One of the leaders dropped back to help us home. He was very nice.

When we arrived back at Västerås' main square we got applause from the other guys that had been there a while. A hot dog and a cheese roll were very welcome, as was the fact that we'd driven into town, so we didn't have to ride all the way home!

I plotted the route with my phone, and you can see the results (I think) at this site.
