Good to see ya!
Got home at 9!
Doing 300km in December feels weird.
Also Slough and Staines needs to be burnt with hell fire!
I am sure I had headwind for 95% of the ride.
See you at the next one.

I think I got home around 5. I was in bits because I stopped eating towards the end and I hate to use my energy products when I'm so close to home. Had to slow right down because I felt the bonk coming. Got to the door all shakey. Perfectly timed arrival :)
I know what you mean, I'm usually eyeballs deep in empty beer bottles this time of year and sort of come around to do the Festive 500 and that's when I think about next year. RRtY makes you get your shit together a bit more I guess - at least for one weekend a month. Should've ridden the TT bike so not used to riding the road bike for that long. Not since PBP and Straight Outta Hackney have I ridden that thing for more than a commute.
Yeah, I ride through there on my A4 training rides. Southall is also a shitfest so we're basically screwed whichever way we choose to go east/west.
20kph in one direction and then you'd swing around and be doing 60kph. The all-too-brief tailwind sections were awesome fun.
hippy
Good to see you again. Tailwind awesome, headwind, um...
