I was marshalling at the ECCA 10 just north of Six Mile Bottom (race was planned for the E2 which is dual carriageway along the A11, but changed coz of roadworks to the E33 which is single carriageway - and a nicer course in my opinion).
Did a loop down through Helions Bumpstead to Finchingfield, up through Steeple Bumpstead, Birdbrook, Wrattings, Westley Waterless (where the race HQ was) to my perch at the Swaffham Bulbeck turn.
Stupidly I didn't have enough layers on for standing around in the strong headwind (only an extra waterproof jacket) and froze my bits off marshalling for an hour. Then rode very stiffly back home 13 miles into the headwind.
Approx 45 miles in total and had to have a bath to warm up again when I got home.
