• Rode the Newmarket sportive yesterday; first 100mi ride since I was a teenager.

    Summary: wet, cold, 2 p***tures and gloves failure; 7 hrs 20.

    Conti GP4ks felt a bit lively in those conditions but I suspect most other tyres would also.

    No coffee at the start. Other than that, 5/7; would ride again.
