Couldn't have been much better really, could it? clear skies, tailwind, good road surfaces, hardly any other road users after the first three hours.
@ Roberto - of the three fixed riders who got there by 5.00am two were from the forum: Australian Will (fourm name Texas) and Australian Gavin: Nice meeting you guys; announce youself here and claim your accolades.
The coach back was all very convenient and that, but next time I'm going to aim to do what Roberto and Hippy did: get to Ipswich, or maybe even further.
I truly can't believe I got there in the time I did compared to last year's sapping slog in freezing rain. But what truly made it an epic was all the japes with you lot at the beach (once you finally turned up!). Ta again, guys.
