Oh yeah, you mentioned that but I have no recollection. I think I rode the short version with the missus or was that another event? I have such shit memory.
Brimstone was in the calendar but it's only a week before TABR so unlikely I'll actually do it.
I still need to work out kit choice. I think I'll go back to the bigger saddle pack for wider temp variation options and leave the jacket out of my framebag so it doesn't mess with my knees.

It was Gadget was on the Burls. Me and Justin saw the 20% sign and agreed to take it easy. (At that point, I'm not too proud to say, I was never making it!)
I think Gadge ended up waiting for Justin, who had whipped ahead of me after grabbing an ice cream, and I came in with Simon (the one riding TCR) a few minutes later, who I think saw I was suffering and held back with me (that or he was drafting me and using me as a windshield as he was lighting up his possibly 30th fag of the ride?)
There was a third guy on fixed too - he's the nutter. I'm led to believe he was on Brevet Cymru too! I'm glad he finished. Came in about 10mins after me. Warrior. He's the chap with already over 100AAA.
I think literally a handful of words were exchanged on AAAnfractuous in October.
Brimstone at the end of the month - rumour has it its a breeze compared to Porkers, so if you do decide to, I'm sure you'll scrape round 😜 🐷🐷🐷✈️
