A very enjoyable day out. I set out at 5:45 on my ECE, to get to the start in time for some food before the off. Chilly first thing, but it was a bit warmer by 8:15, and then gradually getting warmer up to top 15 degrees.
The wind seemed to be a headwind on most legs, not sure how that happened! But the off-road sections and small lanes were well protected, so the wind was not a huge factor. The paths were a pleasant mix of surfaces, and it is so nice to spend time without motor traffic around.
To top it all, we received an informative email this morning providing a summary of the event, and future ride plans. That's a nice touch.
