Gavin-Congratulations! Great event. Having told everyone about the feast which would await them at the end , I was relieved ( but not disappointed of course ) that you did not let me down. Oh that fruit salad, none of those tinned peaches ( lovely as they are ) for KW. The breakfast was extremely fine as well, dried fruit and nuts supplied -lots of little touches which all the riders truly appreciate.
The route also looked after us with the climbing in the first half and the fast , flatter section on the way home. The first half or more of the route was stunning.
Thanks to your helpers -all very friendly and welcoming and with a long night ahead of them when we left.
Thanks also to the people I rode with , my clubmates, Parky , Richard and the Sloth, Blueskies, Andy from HAC the fastest man through a control , Mr Brixton Cycles-see above, and Ian who put in a Herculean effort for the last 100kms with repeated stomach trouble but strong to the last.
Great ride.
