Sunday was the Chiltern100. I did the gran fondo fixed in 7hrs 30mins. Turns out we cant count in the country as it was 111miles. A real relief to see the 10mile to go marker and got loads of encouragement going up the climbs.
Had all sorts of weather from glourious sunshine to heavy rain, but all told it was a great day in the saddle.
Some friends doing the medio were halted by loads of punctures as some locals decided they would spread tacks across the road. Not heard anything more about it yet - but loads of people getting mutliple punctures in a small stretch of road is more than coincidence, unless of course a lorry carrying drawing pins shed its load on the potholes (and there were some chasms) in the lanes.
