Did the Manchester 100- 109 miles in total if you count getting to the start, doing the ride, going to the pub then riding home. I acted as domestique for Helen on the return leg
- wind from NW, direction of travel- NW. I'll post elsewhere for tips on riding on wheels/having someone ride on your wheel.
I've decided that I don't like the MCR 100 route and I'm not sure that I'll do it again.
Bad accident on the way back- car on roof. The (elderly) driver was already being strapped in a body brace by paramedics. As far as I could see, no cyclists were involved directly but I wouldn't be surprised if there was some cyclist interaction- frustrated/impatient driver overtaking inappropriately. I'm speculating.
We passed by as quickly as we could- rubbernecking didn't appeal.
Not nice.
