Yes I find multi day events are special like that. You can be going through day to day life and something will trigger a memory that was buried. Hearing others experience is also good.
You're right though we were spoilt and the weather was spot on too
Thanks, same to you! Rob was riding well and I decided it was best to do my own thing rather than bust a gut trying to keep up with him.
Now I'm back home I keep remembering bits of the ride, we really were spoilt for scenery.
