The pasta & sponge/custard went down a treat considering
how tired I was. For the last 60km my head wanted to sleep,
just could not focus on the route sheet. Legs still felt ok, but
arms & hands totally wrecked. Followed Pippa & Jeromy for
most of the way until I stopped for a comfort break just prior
to Broadwindsor. This is where me & the route sheet parted
company. Did not find the L at T sp Mosterton. but passed
L sp Mosterton & ended up down in foggy Beaminster with very
little time to finish. I have ridden this road many times on other
events & knew there was no L at T until some where after Beaminster.
So why did I pass the L turn sp Mosterton
Climbed upto Mosterton & once more back on route.
Chased some badgers down the road into Halstock , most amusing
seeing them run & grunt as they finally escaped my lights through a
gap in the hedge.
Finished with minutes to spare & treated with some rather delicious
food.
On the whole I really enjoyed this event, great weather, good company
& great scenery. But I really should have had a few early nights before
starting, which would have made the last 60k easier.
