I was on a (currently very filthy) PX Stealth TT bike, yes. I rode out from home and started late (again) so probably rode by at some stage, unless you were very late starting?
I only ever recognise a couple of people though - Ray, Mike from WCC and Frank from Westerley.
Harder work than I expected, that. I'm pretty battered today.

Yep, saw you, you said Hi. You wouldn't recognise me (though I was wearing a dapper forum Jersey).
Likewise, harder than I expected, I think because of the wind and my riding partner not really being on form so we rode slower than I would have liked, meaning I was awake for longer than optimal given how much I need my beauty sleep.
graunch
So Severn Across?
I found it blowy on the way out.. My partner arrived slightly late so we never found a big group to ride in. Fueling worked well though. Felt like packing in at Chepstow at 4pm because it was so late t carried on. Glorious 4 hours from the bridge until it got dark, then a bit of a struggle home. Not really sure what time we finished but somewhere around 22 hours for 415km.
Ash, lovely to see you again. Hippy, was that you on a planet x bike or did I just never see you.
