I've now done the BCM four times (2010, 2013 and 2018) and honestly say that this year's edition was the worst for weather I've experienced. I had to wear three layers for most of Saturday, and
almost had to wear my waterproof for the last 10 km of Sunday. My arms only come out on display climbing up to Pen y Pass. Were was the wall to wall sunshine from the previous editions?!
Considering what the forecast was like earlier in the week I'm amazed the weather was so kind in the end. I was fearing it was going to be really we; whereas it was pretty perfect.
Apart from that it was a blast. Great company, fantastic views, brilliant controls (thanks everyone) and getting back to Kings for 9:20pm meant no night riding
Sunday was a sociable ride back to Chepstow with Postie, Veloboy & Magnus. Then an easy train journey back to London via Gloucester, during which time Magnus and I managed to drink the First Great Western train dry of beer. (Well they did only had two cans on the service
).
