Very late report this, but that was a fantastic ride. 92 miles, two huge hills and two shorter nastier ones, one near the end. I rode with Nick from our club (Zappi's) and we stayed together most of the way round. As usual I cramped out on the last hill at around 85 miles. This always seems to happen however well I hydrate with electrolytes, and yet again I had to get off and waddle around for a couple of minutes to clear my legs of acid.
Completed in 5:21 and was 45th out of 123, not that anyone's checking apart from me! Its not a race
.
Super weather, good organisation and great food, especially the soup, at the end. Deffo for next year.
