Yes, it was LEL revisited with the headwind. Our little group was well within time but the last stretch from Gainsborough was hard and at times the elastic nearly broke.
At one point near Church Warsop , I fell off the back and could quite easily have just let the rest go. As a matter of personal pride ,I "dug in " big time and got back so that we finished together.
Apple pie and custard tasted so sweet at the finish.
Thank you Tom and the other helpers for the organisation and support.
