Sounds like it was a great day for all 
I had two days of relentless wind, rain, and hills on the Borders Ciclista. But it was one of the best events I've ever done

Yes your right. I did it in 5h 02 mins, and missed my target by 2 mins there. Anything below 4 hrs is proper fast in my eyes. Well done to everyone who rode, it is great to be out with 4500 bikes at once.Doing the event is certainly not 'out of your league' !

One of my club mates took his mum around, she is 65 and not a bike rider at all. They took around 6 hours but he managed to get her round. For you Scoosh, a walk in the park.Doing the event is certainly not 'out of your league' !

Hmm, hope for me yet then. 6 hours doesn't actually sound too bad for someone that hasn't cycled much so well done to her.One of my club mates took his mum around, she is 65 and not a bike rider at all. They took around 6 hours but he managed to get her round. For you Scoosh, a walk in the park.
Bet you're glad it wasn't on today. Fresh snow on the hills!

We got lucky with the weather! Some of those that started a bit later reported some rain though.
You would be fine Mo. It's a fantastic event and only the minority are there to race (ahem) or record a fast time.
