Superb weekend. A huge chapeau to the organisers. At £55, my ticket was ridiculously good value. My girlfriend was surprisingly impressed too.
As for the ride, there's something weirdly cathartic about taking bikes that cost thousands of hours/time and then thrashing them down a 1/8-gradient bridlepath made up entirely of rocks.
Good to meet some of you too. Was with S&B when his rear mech snapped. Assumed he'd get a lift back to camp and was mighty impressed to find him at the finish line - even more so when I discovered that his chain had snapped too. That's L'Eroica, I guess.
