After a dodgy start to the day, oversleeping and a puncture just outside Greenwich park, the day got better.
I was late for my 7.30 start but managed to get away about 7.45 and stayed with the groups doing my kind of speed until any hill seperated us as their carbon bling just floated up them
The faeries were busy today it seemed that for the whole day people were changing tubes at the roadside and I heard the guy at the first feed control that they had run out of tubes to sell
The rain showers were heavy but fairly short and as it was warm we dried out quickly. and I probably only had them on twice for thirty minutes a time.
That downhill bit at Pembury was a bit of a thigh burner
I wanted to do a good time I am usually around 10-11 hours for a 200km ride and I hardly stopped at controls only to fill my bottles and grab malt loaf, so I was well chuffed to finish in an official time of 8:14:11 :D a great day.
I spotted at least four other fixies any from on here?
now where is that Malt Loaf mountain? they must have loads left over.
