Highclere Interservice 200k Sportive

[GruB]

Was ace.  Quite hilly, quite windy, very very very sunny and warm.
I managed to hit the gold standard - and as that was my aim I am well happy.
205k in 7 hours 7 mins and sommit like 37 seconds.
129.14 miles at 18.35 average per hour getting up to 47.54 max speed.

There were loads of event photographers so I will be buying one this time as I am that happy.

Thats a great result, congrats.

I didnt do quite so well.  I managed gold last year but was over 2 hours slower yesterday!!  Combination of reasons I think, not being fully recovered from previous two weeks exertions, bit of a virus a few days beforehand and being too much of a fat b@stard at the moment.

I was going reasonably well for about the first 70K but then blew up, the remainder of the ride was then a bit of a struggle!

Still a nice day out though.

Well done GruB, that's some going over our lumpy Hants terrain...

That's some going, Grub, well done.

If you go here and then put 429 in the Event Number / Rider number box to the top right, you get to see 6 faces of concentration.

You can do it all again on the 28th.  The harder way up

Yep, I was thinking about that when I was going up
