The ride was fantastic, stunning route, good climbs, great pit stop, great crew and a healthy dose of HTFU for the week.
Getting to the end seeing the place covered in litter and seas of fluro clad security and police, attention seeking old men and women getting dressed up as druids for their weekend jolly before returning to their jobs as insurance disk assessors, hundreds of face painted, awkward, drug addled students trying to “feel something” and a sky full of clouds!
Not what I had in mind, but then we all know it’s all about the ride!
It was the only time I could feel me losing my rag, I was glad Paul was rolling just behind us and didn’t have to go through that ordeal.. Shit! 24 hours on a bike just months after breaking a hip, with the last 20 miles in the cold dark west-country air chasing wheel up hills on his own..
Sheeeeit! He would have gone postal.
Paul, James, Oliver & Andy.. It was a pleasure rolling with you. Got to be said - Fiddy is NAILS... FACT!
As Oliver mentioned; that route is an instant classic
Rawhide!
