27\09\16 - DIY 200km Audax

Due to injury & stupidity I'd run out of September calendar events, so I had to do another DIY effort.  I needed this in order to maintain my charge towards a double RRTY this year.  So from Hertford I took a wind-assisted trip north to Godmanchester where I turned eastwards towards St Ives and the cycle\busway that eventually arrives at Milton, Cambridge.  This bit was a bit more arduous due to the buffeting from the crosswind.  From Cambridge I then headed towards Braintree and thence back to Hertford.  Overall the weather was good - it didn't rain and the wind was only a problem in the flat, exposed bits of the journey.  I started at 08:12 and got back at 18:52.  With less than an hour of non-riding I consider that I finished the 217kms trip in a reasonable time.  And this time my knee didn't turn into something that looked like a small football!  PW.
