Enjoyed the 200 on Saturday. Weather couldn't have been better really, lots of blue skies and sunshine but without being too cold first thing. I especially like the roads near Snetterton, almost zero traffic, gently rolling through bits of forest and fields full of pigs. As with last year, I came across a time trial at about 130km, with riders overtaking me at warp speed. The final bit of road back to Great Dunmow was closed to cars, so very nice to have a traffic-free final 30 mins! And the veggie soup at the end was great. All in all a cracking early season ride - thanks to Tom and helpers.

Only possible improvement would be to offer eBrevet, so we could stop worrying about places (Greggs, BP, etc) with non-compliant receipts!

Massive thank you to Tomsk and ACME for organising/volunteering/bringing sunshine to my first 200 of the year.  Really enjoyed the quiet roads (possibly helped by there being rugby on?) and the rider chat along the way.  Cracking spread at the end.  ACME grub is always top notch.  See you at the next one!
