Spring Cycle 2025 - A casual cyclists first mass cycling event

4 months prior to the 2025 Sydney Spring Cycle. Ares Adventurez suggested we sign up for the 50km charity bike ride here in Sydney. At that stage, our abilities on the bike streached only to 10km rides. With a single 25km ride. Where I trained and built a bike for this event. Ares had health issues which removed traiing as an option. Though I paced him to his first 50km only 2 weeks prior to this event. Please leave your comments and suggestions below. Part 2 and 3 will be edited in a different style. And there is a bonus part 4 of me struggling to ride home while fighting cramps, heat and a comming storms head wind.
