that was a different experience from last year. a sore knee and the beginnings of cramp were the only downsides towards the end, the early morning light made up for that though.
as for the stag do drinking beer eating prime meat products and only sleeping for a few hours afterward wasn't ideal post ride recovery :-) but i feel fine now compared to last year when i could hardly move.(probably due to doing longer rides)
did anyone else follow the yellow 'cycling event' signs that were nothing to do with the dynamo? we ended up south of buckfast hill but thanks to maps on phones and ex-couriers we got back on track, without this detour we would have missed 2 of essex's finest short skirted females fighting in a bush.
next year i might do it geared or only ride with fixed riders
hippy is right about the numbers, out of 3000 members the turnout was a bit small. people were doing iton mountainbikes with heavy wide tyres, fixed is far easier than dragging a mtb along
