dicki rode like a total demon all night and to hammer that pace fixed for 100 miles is awesome.
i would have been on the floor crying.
This.
And apologies if we pushed it a little too hard at times. Usually I was just trying to keep warm but I often worry if I'm going too fast/slow (or, worse, appearing to be trying to usurp leadership! ;)) when at the front. Also, I spent pretty much my first year on the forum being physically unable (often, even when geared!) to take a turn so there's certainly no worries there - I'm still in debt on that front.
As for the ride, well, it was great. We could hardly had had better weather until, ironically @ the 4:52am official sunrise time, the cloud really closed in and the rain fell. Trying to complete my house moving tasks (via Brompton) on Friday was... interesting :)
Thanks very much for organising this Steve - it would have been a real shame if it hadn't happened. Here's to next year...
