Cambridge Autumnals

Thanks Nick for running this today. Nice route if a little wetter than expected, but I suppose i cannot blame you for that. Thanks the other Nick and Mike cor your company. I missed the cake at the finishbut Maglia Rosso was pretty good 2/3s of the way around.

I always blame the organiser for everything from weather to sore legs. It makes me feel better and gives them a laugh.

Somehow I missed this. Really disappointed.

Yes, clearly Nick snapped my gear cable just after Fram in order to convert me back to riding fixed!

He did let you down though, in 2019 he laid on strong gales.

Yes, the rain did make me laugh, as I thought to myself "that's more like it" 

Fields on both events limited to 30 riders due to covid.  Zero DNS on the day (a few from the 100 decided that Essex@tier2 was too great a risk, as they are in the at-risk group, and so notified me beforehand).  Just one DNF on the 200 — turned right when he should've turned the-other-right and thus missed a control and 40km Suffolk countryside.

Lots of type-2 faces at the end — always a good sign 

Last rider back at 9pm and Ben and I were eating takeaway by 9.30 

I think next time I might wear thermals — it was really chilly standing around in the car park waiting for riders to return!

Is this likely to be run this year?

[wilkyboy]

Yes.  Just deciding on whether to chance running a hall or to keep it simple again, as has become de rigeur.  Hoping for third Saturday in October.
