Found some good footage of the day on YouTube.
Has all of the highlights in one place. Music a bit 'techno techno' for me.

Just worked out that a time of 3h 25min is an average speed of nearly 25mph. With 4000ft of climbing thrown in then that is amazes me. I could only dream. Chapeau!

The 3h 25min was for the 85km/55mile route and his average was 16.1mph!

One really annoying downside - Let's go to a beautiful part of the country, enjoy some fun semi-competitive riding, and ...





... throw hundreds of used gels down wherever the f**k we want to, eh!

Agree, it annoys the hell out of me too.

 

[Heisenberg71]

Agree, but the pros throw bottles everywhere too.
However I think they a clear up wagon following on behind.

Well, my friend and I finished.... That's all you need to know!! We nearly died, but we finished!! It was fantastic though!!

Does anyone know when the highlights will be on the Bike channel? I received an email and said to look out on their media... Not seen anything yet...

Oh, I forgot to post my video clip from the finishing straight. I have posted it elsewhere but will add it here. Not bad for a smartphone held 8 ft in the air above everybody else's heads!
