did the Rapha Hell of the North - ruddy good fun it was too.
first time out that way and took in some beautiful lanes and some surprisingly lumpy off-road sections, I'd been glad it wasn't wet but with the sun drying the muddy tyre ruts I had a few fraught moments trying to negotiate them. Some mental carbon wheels etc being slung round them too by the mamil contingent-I was happy to inflict it on my mercian but didn't see the need to take the chance with my good bike. Saw some Rollapalluza jerseys on route and a few brae souls riding SS as well as one fixed rider.
Beer and frites post ride whilst watching the last 100k of Paris Roubaix in the sun was pretty sweet too but have some pretty red arms to show for it.
