I've done a few 300s where club and sportive riders have been bashing it out at the start. You'd turn up at controls and they'd be all smug about getting there first and getting the good seats. Some of them would have it in them to keep hammering all the way through but somewhere around the 180k mark you'd see people start to go backwards and get sucked into a control hole. Quite amusing at times.
Hmm. Ditchling Devil 200 in early June. Last proper cycle ride late March. Not many chances to get out on the bike between then and now.
Hmm, might need to dig deep into my HTFU reserves.
