Just did the Corinium CC Windrush Winter Warm-up 100k audax today. Bit on the chilly side and my feet were numb most of the time. There were also strong headwinds in the 2nd stage. But a very good turn out with over a hundred on the ride. At least it didn't rain. A pub in Little Barrington called the Fox Inn was doing pasta meals for the riders. They must have raked it in charging £8.00 for a tiny bowl of pasta. But after 76k I was ready for it and it was pretty good.
Only 3 controls and the first one was at 47k so it was nice to do a non-stop long stint. I was on fixed of course but there were a few other fixers too. There was a tandem and one guy on a trike.
Got the train back to London then cycled another 20k from Paddington to Sydenham. Nice to start the season early.
