Hope all the riders had a good day. I was providing a japanese style tea and coffee service at Ardingly. OK, it was really just tea and coffee without a table, but allow me my creativity. Riders were very patient as they waited repeatedly for the kettle to boil.
I believe all the riders (170 - DNSs?) made it as far as this point, though there was rumours of a missing woman. A couple were planning to DNF as the weather was not fantastic, but I think most people (including the rider in jeans!!) will get to the end.
Martin and Ann provided and excellent hot breakfast and many sweet snacks to fuel the riders. The weather wasn't as nice as yesterday, but the rain held off and there will presumably be less sunburn than there would be otherwise.
