72 finishers yesterday, over the three distances, and only 7 DNFs. One technically OTL but not by much so I applied organiser's discretion. Some got rained on briefly (mainly the faster riders), some got blown about a bit, some weren't so keen on the lumpy bits, and a few had reason to be disgruntled with local motoring standards, but other than that everyone seemed to have a jolly good time. And remarkably, everyone was finished before 8.30pm, which was very considerate - I was back home and in bed before 10pm (last year I was still at the finish until nearly 11pm).
For those of you who didn't make it, sorry we missed you - maybe next time...
I've been debating whether or not to run it again after this year, but after much deliberation, there is going to be a next time, but with a few changes, including a new name (for one thing, the club's 70th anniversary is now a receding memory, and for another thing, the club aren't really that interested in audax).
A few details TBC before I can add it to the calendar but hope to have that sorted soon.
