https://picasaweb.google.com/114454292405633360220/HillsAndMillsGrimpeur2016Thank you controllers for your sterling work especially helping sort out the cards Friday night and checking all the Paypal entries were correct and everyone had paid. Just one slipped through the net and did not enter or show up? (Note to self, check this early next event and tick them off as they enter, plus print off the start sheet before leaving HQ).
We were very lucky with the weather window and the use of the gazebo that I borrowed worked well (need to be mindful where we place it in the future due to the dog's doings lurking in the grass especially at first light !).
Cafe are very pleased with our custom today as it's a quiet time of year for them.
A26 avoidance section was well appreciated, sorry to those that had to wait at the traffic lights in Crowborough to get across the A26!
Stats (submitted)
85 entries including one rider hitting the enter now button, three times.

7 DNF including one broken crank! (Contact made how are you (SR)?
Leaving 52 for validation.
Worthy of noting- 3 Ladies were successful. The fixed chap (OW) apparently did not walk anywhere and Mr Barrow also rolled around with no issues.
