Thanks to Tom and Nick for getting me started and taking my mind off matters with such a blistering opening 10 miles. Needless to say I couldn't keep up, but was happy on my own from then on. It wasn't nice seeing a cyclist go into an ambulance a few miles further up. My thoughts are with that DP (?) rider. Is there any news on them ?
Great to see and ride with Skully, Jennie, and a few other forum faces.
Good to see Sam et al at the pub stop.
Thanks to the 5 riders who I gracelessly drafted for miles 60 - 80 and then massive thanks to the bloke I met, Paul, who made the last 30 so fast and fun with it.
Left at 10, arrived just after 5.
It was nice to see you, J. The rider involved in that crash has posted up thread - broken collarbone, but seemingly in good spirits!
I'm not surprised you were reluctant to discuss, last night... Best wishes to you all, and especially those still recovering.
