Yep. AFAIK, there's not been an (official) FNR that suffered a total abandonment before. Hopefully, we're not setting a precedent. Conditions weren't that bad- however, we only started with 23 (the number that finished Wetstable), and though there weren't that many mechanicals, one in particular was agonisingly slow to deal with (tyre/rim combo being very awkward). We only got to the halfway- Birchanger Services- at about 5.30, so there was no way we were going to make Maldon by nine. The thing had become a war of attrition, and unlike the previous Hardest FNRs (I was on quite a few of those), there wasn't much impetus or reason to carry on. When the likes of Adrian, Titus and Michael A have had enough, the game's up. So, back to Bishop's Stortford and trains it was…

Everything else is just waiting.
... talking of which, I've just registered for the Jun11 Reading-Oxford ride. Will it be summer by then? Or autumn?

Guess I'll just have to wait for the pre-ride info email. Fingers crossed!
