pearson 150 was really good, with the exception of two things:
1) headwind for the whole second half, particularly when along the really exposed ridge out of brighton
2) some berks who had organised a road race on that day (think it may have been catford cc, but can't really remember) putting all their signage over pearson's at one of the corners, meaning ,me and about 20 others (at least) going off the route. ended up doing an extra 5 miles or so... at least it made it a proper century! pretty unbelievably c*ntish by whatever club it was that did it.
got back and smashed a few slags (i wish) whilst watching the last hour of a pretty awesome stage of the giro at LMNH.
a few more beers when i got back and a very early start = bed by 9
