Last time out, if memory serves correctly, we were approaching Harwich in bright sunshine, when out of nowhere a rain and hail storm hit us. There was no time to get waterproofs on before we were washed away. After the deluge passed, and just over the small rise where some of us were riding at the time, the verges were white with hail, on a day that was rapidly returning to sun.
Although TigaSefi calls it flat, I've always struggled with this one, and mostly got back to the HQ first time at a snail's pace, and not gone out for the final loop. After the poor weather earlier this year, I've not built up to do a few 200s before this one, so I'll be on the not-so-Grand 100km for a change.
Great ride though. Sorry to be missing the Harwich end.
