Ah I was wondering about the absence of this here.
I chose not to ride it as I'm training for PBP and as it turned out I had to ride a cover 600 the week before so this was a better plan than I anticipated.
One of my colleagues at work rode it in 5 hrs 30 so you beat him
I went down to have a look and see the end of the professional race in Cardiff - was very much fun cheering the tail enders back in, especially the last lady who got a massive cheer and much sign bashing which I'm sure she loved (certainly looked like it). Was nice to see and tandem pair and a moulton rider in the last few back in on the 140k - made me fell at home a little. I got a little envious i wasn't involved I admit, I probably will ride this next year. I got myself a nice bike bag from a Dutch bike shop stall at the expo - this will get the bike onto the coach for PBP so it was worth a visit just for that.
Looked like a great event and sooooooo many riders
Will be good to be involved next year methinks. A great celebration of cycling in my mind.
