We didn't think the 260k version was enough so added an extra 15k by riding to the start.
Averaged 32kph for the first 100k making the most of a big bunch, although I struggled here.
It pissed down during a big thunderstorm in the middle, cobbles were epic (and wet) although thanks to either different bike position or the 'fingers together' tip from Continental Dave I was moving quite quickly over them. I was knackered and left the other three guys at the last control to fend for myself (solo breakaway ftw!). Ride time was just over 9 hours.
Some dirt + some sun =
