Nice write up. That was a tough old day. I am on the train back to London after packing in Marlow had knee pain from about 110k pushed on until Marlow but was crawling up every lump by that point and decided enough was enough those lanes were horrible in the dark! Marlow station is closed for the weekend so had to get to Maidenhead took the wrong exit on a roundabout and ended up turning onto the M4! FML my first dnf but learnt a lot more from it than others similar to the review above take suitable clothing but also better lights and train more! I did a similarly hilly 200k last Sunday and my knee is clearly not up to it yet.
