+1 to that, good fun - thanks
As it was 50k from home I opted for the 100 & ECE'd it, it was bloody cold from the offset, then glorious until it started raining in the afternoon, none of which spoilt a nice day out.
After the first control I rode the rest with Tim S (the steam ride organiser) he'd also decided to ECE the 100 and we had a similar pace. We both suffered a bit by not eating enough at the first control, so the second feed stop was just in time. The food at the end was also a very warm welcome and after some soup, sandwich & cake I felt warm enough to plod home into the wind & rain
Thanks again, hope to get on the 200 next time.
