Many thanks to all the marshals, it was a great day and the route was cracking. As previously mentioned, the descent after the first feed stop was truly freezing and I was praying for a climb to warm up on again.
However, and this is a general point about cyclists, the number of gel/flapjack/food packets that were littering the route was frankly disgusting. I can't think of an excuse for not taking the empty packet home with you. Even if you drop it, circle back and pick it up.
