My second DD this time and after doing it fixed last time i made the decision to do it S/S this time round. I must say I enjoyed it a lot more, party due to the fact that I am a shit ton fitter on a bike than I was last year and also because I wanted it to be really social and just have those moments when you drift off and coast down the hills watching the scenery roll by or singing Bohemian Rhapsody with Iain :-)
I can unfortunately see the novelty of DD wearing off as i do tend to get bored after ~80miles and just want it to end. To this effect I am considering the Batmobile and TTing it next year. Should get me there a bit quicker.
most enjoyable moments are probably too much to list/remember but rolled the entire way with Chainbreaker, Hovis, MutleyBJJ, Missus OSR & her mate (Jane, not ON HERE) with the odd section with the likes of Nurse Holiday, Roboto, Apollox & various others - you know who you are.
Walkie Talkies were fucking funny and helped to keep the mini SE peleton together. Next year tunes are also required.
