Title: Shropshire Hourglass 200
Post by: Philip D on 06 April, 2024, 03:38:32 pm

Anybody from these parts doing this? It will be my first calendar event of the year, though I've done a few DIYs. Last few weeks the atrocious weather and having to manage an incipient saddle sore/spot has kept me off the bike so I won't be breaking any records.

Weather forecast doesn't look too bad - a bit cooler than today at 13°C. Some showers in the afternoon but some sun too. In comparison to recent conditions, sounds glorious.

Only potential fly in the ointment is that it's going to be almost as windy as today  :'(

Yep.  I'm currently camped half a mile from the HQ.  It's blowing a gale and lashing it down.  It's gonna be great.
