London-Oxford-London (LOL reversed) Ghan 200 5th Sept 2015

Host of your suggestions incorporated from the last LoL in March... so reversed 6 months later. :thumbsup:
so you won't recognise it (3 cooling towers missing at Didcot power station).

Fixie Friendly: No steep climb on the Ghan Revesed, but beware the STEEP decents at Windsor & Chinnor hills!!

'Twas a super fast day for me!  8)

Rode with a few guys on an 'on/off' basis.  :D

The route clockwise is excellent and apart from a few tiny route sheet foibles it went flawlessly for me.

Good stuff Tim !

 :thumbsup:

I enjoyed the ride much better this way round and with the superfluous distance removed. This event continues to improve.

The route sheet should be better next time, though the gpx was fine. Tandem pilots and recumbent folk need reasonable skills and chunks of the course were distinctly unfriendly to trikes and other large machines.

Another superb event, fantastic start/finish location at Ruislip and I think I enjoyed it as much as the spring one. Have already entered for March 2015.

....I'm gutted, I will be away and can't do this on September 6th! And there are now AAA options too! One of my favourite Audaxes, really convenient from London.
