I'm sad to have missed all you guys. Passed TSK and the van before anyone had arrived. Was going to stop but I had a personal vendetta going with my geared companion so kept my head down and pedalled on.
Missed the rest stop by 30 miles so had to hop the fence of a school and fill up water supplies from a little drinking fountain. Then had two hours sleep till 4. Got onto the beach around 6.30. Bacon sarnies and tea in that little village towards the end were a low point for me as I'd left my wallet in my bag of clean clothes which, irritatingly, was in a car at Dunwich. Cycled through the crowd of happy breakfasters with a tear in my eye.
Fixed is fine, in fact it was a pleasure. I was running 44/17 and have no leg aches to complain of. You guys bitching about tired knees need to take some of your own advice and HTFU.
Anyone else fancy another epic night ride soon? I've properly got the bug.
