hippy-
I'm sure he was, especially given the course, general lack of competition and the temperature.
Do you know the West of Windsor course? It could certainly be descibed as 'sporting', but it has been improved significantly in the past couple of years by moving the start to the top of Hawthorn Hill, which means that it's only necessary to climb the hill twice (as opposed to three times), and since the first ascent is now almost ten miles from the start it's not so hard on those who have failed to warm up properly.
Even so, any sub hour ride there shows potential for much faster times on a dragstrip.
