Also encountered the sportive,  the "Wild Edric" apparently, although no amount of pride was going to allow me to keep up with them on that hill.

We wondered what the signs saying "feed zone 10km" and suchlike were all about, missed the sportive riders however

I'm pretty sure that at least some of the "Kilo to Go" signs were fibbing.

We passed one of their feed zones, and having noticed the riders were not wearing numbers we were very tempted to sneak in and hoover up some of their food. However I think the tandem might have blown our cover (not to mention the Brooks saddles) so we didn't try it!

For a moment I thought: Feed station after just 10km? ! !

Lovely stretch of road mind...can't recall any traffic until Knighton...

I was quite happy with my stunning descent of Pen-y-Pass.  The car driver holding me up was probably more petrified  ;D

Another excellent Audax - crudely written up in this blog - http://thesquarepusher.blogspot.co.uk/

Thanks to Mark and Louise - very well organised again - I'll be back next year!

Style seeps through your recount of the BCM.

Stylish writing.
Stylish photos.
Stylish riposte.

I especially liked the shadow photo at the end.  Well done.
