First time I have ridden this event. A shame that the forecast put off a fair number of riders. But it did mean that the wonderful breakfast;porridge , excellent bircher muesli, home made fruit compote, seeds, nuts , toast etc and then the choice of two home made and outstanding soups , and choice of hot pasta dishes and selection of cakes at the end , did not need to be fought over.
This was cycling food of the highest order-and all part of the entry fee. Really impressive and appreciated by all.
Most people seemed to wear their rain jackets the whole day and the rain allied wiht the head wind for about 80kms along the coast made for a pretty demanding ride.
Some great bits along cycle paths by the coast and some interesting climbs inland.
A big thank you to Bob and his team for giving us a really good day out and making the extra effort on the catering front.
Just sort out the weather next year..........
