Does this Arrow count as a 400k for your SR towards PBP? When's your next ride?
I was pretty happy about taking (aka making the missus carry) the 10mm allen key when you were looking for one and her Di2 worked and her cranks didn't fall off so that's a nice change.

I would wait a couple of days before mentioning the Wessex SR weekend. She won’t have to worry about too much flat riding.
The Arrow was our shakedown ride, not a PBP qualifier. Steve’s 300 qualifier is next Saturday and the 400 a fortnight later. I did my 300 a few weeks ago in Qld (>35 degrees was a bit tough).
Your young lady having 8 and 10mm Allen keys to hand stopped my brain from exploding with worry, so a good move there on your part.

Sorry, that wasn’t deliberate.
It was the first time this tandem team had even ridden together and we were worried about dragging up the hills and overly slowing the Arrow team through the first 100km.
It was good that we finished comfortably in time, even with a 35 minute delayed start and a noticeably over-distance route. I was impressed by every team member during the brevet.
