A few shots from the 160km ride on Sunday. I didn't get much chance to take snaps, I'm not a quick rider and we wanted to try and get around before 5.00. In the end we rolled in at 5.10!
Well organised and clearly signposted, with plenty of marshals, and good food stops. It was a great day, but I found it tiring in the afternoon heat. I've never drank so much before, but none of it made it to my bladder ... I sweated buckets!
Total mileage for the day was 124.5 miles, including our ride in and out of town. Lots of cobbles and gravel sections too! Rotrax went like a dream over it all.
Ride was €40, which seemed really good value, but I was very surprised there was no goodie bag at all when you registered, you just got your race number and a few pins, and a small sticker at the end of it. I assumed you always got a feed bag at least, and it's a great bit of advertising for the event when you use it on other rides? That was the only disappointment about the event though. (I used my bag from the first Eroica Britannia, which is still going strong despite years of abuse)
