Well that was one to remember, great route, not so great weather, i think its the only ride i have been on where i got sun burn on the top of my baldy napper and soaked through all within the same hour
Had a long chat with
@BRounsley who dragged me along the last 25 miles or so before i finally gave up and pottered along to the finish.
Great route Nick , that "little" hill up the "welcome to Landudno" was a real lung stretcher, and at that point it all came flooding back the total lack of any training rides before tackling this 100 miler.
I wondered why i was so cold sat outside the pub eating my fish and chips, at that point i was not sure if it was my hand shaking so much or the fish was still alive, the answer became apparent when i got back to the car for the temperature on the dash to announced a full 3 degrees, and it was around Chester that i noticed i was not actually shaking inside any more, and was fully warmed up with the car heater on full belt.
I am not sure the new name of Pete the egg announced by
@Tail End Charlie is what i will change to, as most would just think it was because of my egg shaped baldy head, rather than my dinner time eating choice.
Great to see so many faces, although having the memory capacity of less than a 1980's floppy disk , i was still tying to put names to faces even at the end.
Same again next year ? , but less of the A548, and nip over Snowdon instead.
. Sorry I didn't go round everyone though - not too good at putting myself forward.
and see you there.
