Or the rough Devon/Somerset roads.
I had very sore bits on the Wessex 400k. Think that was mostly newer model knicks. Still not sure. Also sitbone bruising. Since doing all these hilly rides I'm very tempted to ditch the Adamo and go back to a normal saddle to spread the weight over a larger area (#hippyisfat), since I'm rarely on the aerobars for long now.

I did the B Shifty 600 on Tuesday and yesterday.
The ride went OK, but I am completely confused as I now feel it must be Monday today.
That was my pbp qualifier.
Quite a pleasant route. Basically two out and backs from Bristol to the sea. The first in West Wales, the second in Devon. The roads couldn't be more of a contrast. Wales had quite a lot of smooth, quiet A road (including much of the Welsh 12 hour course). The Devon one was mostly rough lanes and loadsacars.
Cheddar gorge was a highlight. Hadn't ridden it before. It is steep, but only for a very short section. Pretty.
Probably the worst saddle sores I've ever had. Not sure why, maybe not ridden my bike enough lately as been riding on a tandem. Or the rough Devon/Somerset roads.
