Nice one Speshy and I would love to be able to achieve 15.5 average on a 100 miler.

speshy said:dorset is pretty hilly and they did make it a tough course .. but i dont think there as bad as devon/cornwall
but then again ive never ridden there,,
I have... and I can vouch for Dorset having some climbs that are close up there with its western neighbours....

all i can say is lots of hills and very windy !!!!
but i managed it at an average speed of just a shade over 15.5, which i'm pretty chuffed about..
Well done, you must be feeling really good.
I did the 60 miles and had toyed with the idea of 100. On the day I was glad that I did the 60. It was so windy and hilly wasn't it. I'm not sure I would have got round 100 miles ..... and you were so quick. Nice one.

Regardless of hills how did the wind and rain affect you? As a beginner doing my first Sportiff yesterday I think the rain kept me cool and the wind slowed down everyone to my speed on the descents,and no sunburn, bit of a result really :-)
PS double chapeau on your average speed. Mine was 12.7
