Many thanks to Mr Pember for putting on an excellent event - thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who took part I'm sure!
What a fabulous day! Probably the best weather for a ride I've done in absolutely ages and the route I thought was fantastic - no complaints from me - even the canal paths were OK and just served to break the ride up nicely - in my opinion anyway.
The threat of ice didn't appear to materialise and it just ended up being a glorious day with cracking company.
Good to meet Mike (bikey-mikey) who indeed is completely barking - we especially enjoyed his triathlon style transitions at the controls! Good man!
We said we'd tell you who we were Mike, so I'm Roger and with me were Steve, Swiss and Hayden...hope you had a safe 200km back home...a few new names for your list of riders...
Next official one for us is "Making Hay" - then "Heart of England" and eventually the "Bryan Chapman" - just need to sort out a 400km now to complete the SR! Any suggestions - we can't do the Brevet Cymru unfortunately?
