The routes are basically along motorways now though so without follow vehicles, training for them is quite a stressful exercise. With Mike's death weighing on my mind, personally, I'm even less inclined to do this kind of thing again.

I was a bit nervy on my clubs first evening 10 of the year last night. Dual carriageway course and lots of close passes from vehicles travelling at high speed. Probably an easter hols thing I guess, more traffic in the evening than during a working week.
Anyway, would hate to do ride on those kind of roads for any distance.

I spent 6+ months doing just that (on top of the normal TTing I was doing) and by mid-year I was going slower and pretty fucking stressed out. It was likely a combination of things but the busy roads with constant risky passes from arsehole drivers can't have helped my nerves, no matter how fearless/hardcore I claim to be.
