We were back on the road again by then I think, we started off roading just after Standtead Abbotts, could have been part of the same thing though, I was not doing the navigating so to be honest i never knew where the hell I was most of the time. Could have got away with it in the dry but not after the recent rain.
@Fox & Spybot, loving the early morning mist photo, reminds me of the stones ride last year. And chapeau for the fixed effort. Have you guys done a 200 mile audax already or was that your first long one? I'm looking at doing my first 200 soon as i try to cycle up to my folks in Wales and just wondering on timings for leaving. Yours was about 17 hours or so right, how much of that was riding and how much was off bike, approx?
Also wondered what the most popular saddle is amongst the audax brigade, I'm assuming some kind of Brooks? I've yet to find a saddle that i'm happy on after 150 odd miles, I'm not sure my butt will ever be happy after sitting on any saddle for so long.
