Oh, I've just looked through some of the photos and I saw lots of you on the road, just didn't know who you were. Did anyone see a girl on a pink Surly Steamroller with a pink courier bag? That was me.
And I wish I'd taken a leaf out of Hippy's book and checked my mileage before I got in the shower. I had 175 miles on the clock, which is my longest ride ever, but I'd quite like to have got it up to 300k!
All in all, the best DD I've done yet - no rain, beautiful moonlight all the way (I didn't end up needing the Petzl headtorch I found in a charity shop for 50p) and none of my usual low points (i.e. the first hour through Epping Forest; the hour after the feed stop; the last 20 miles). I raced a bloke on a Mercian down to the beach, and he offered to sell me my next fixie.
Is it me, or was it a lot smaller this year? And faster?
