I found the weather perfect... not too hot, not too cold, no wind and a few very light showers, what's not to like?
The audax o'clock drizzle storm (which would only have affected those riding to the start of the 160) and the unexpected half an hour or so of Mancunian-style heavy rain just as it was starting to warm up, mostly. That one was probably quite localised due to the lack of wind, so you may have avoided it. I'd brought the wrong bike for heavy rain.
Agreed about the temperature - having got a bit sunburnt earlier in the week I was glad it wasn't scorchio.
Did anyone else encounter the whistle-blowing flag-waving supporters braving the downpour on Tysoe
