Rolled round just fine, no ice to speak of along the route, had to walk several hills, mostly in the middle section. It is too early in the year and too cold for me to muscle an over-geared fixed the whole way.
Collected along the way:
Endura red gillet - returned to owner in Malmesbury (a pity, it probably was better than mine)
Northwave clear glasses (tell me the frame colour and they're yours)
Collected at the finish:
Black winter gloves (tell me the make, etc.)
