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.

That's the Fifield course? I've not ridden it for a few years.
They've moved the start to the top of the hill, and so the finish will be at the bottom..? That will make it a bit better, although it would mean three times along drift road which would be no fun in a headwind.
Slow course but I always rather enjoyed it. I often fit a loop round it in when I'm doing a training ride over that way
