I rode the Tour of the Cornfields, a 60 mile cyclocross sportive in Cambridgeshire. It was fantastic, a really interesting route with some fairly technical stuff, lots of rough green lanes and some fairly lengthy road sections. We were very lucky with the weather, as rain was forecast for most of the morning but we had a spell of 20 minutes of rain just after half distance and then some rain in the last mile or so, that turned into a torrential downpour that saw me drive home along very wet roads.
I punctured just before the feed station, but a quick change saw us lose no more than 5 minutes. I'm not sure of the time, as we didn't take note of when we actually started, but we must've done the ride in around 4 hours.
