I did Kennet Valley Run on Saturday.
Really nice roads and the start line in Reading was rideable sparing the tedium of rail.
100km major headwinds and hail to begin with but the return leg was a load easier.
I'd snapped a chain on the previous day's commute and grabbed my summer bike so it was my first audax on gears which turned out useful as all my mates bailed by the halfway point and I was a bit under-dressed so it was head-down-big-ring all the way home.
Good fun tho and I reckon that with better weather, Kennet Valley Run would be quite pleasant really
I've done this a few times. It's a lovely spring ride. Quite flat but it does go into reasonably wild country around wolf hall. You really feel like you are going over the spine of England.
