I'm ok, but there wont be any HAC points from my effort.
tbh the route is a bit....... shit.
It seems like a good warm up to the mersey 24. Lots (and lots) of heavily trafficked A-roads. I got near the front of the pack, saw no one for about 6 hours, got run off the road (A30) by trucks 3 times, andon the approach to Exeter started asking questions like "what the fuck am I doing this for??"
It was hot, it was no fun. Worst of all I was starting to question whether I even wanted to ride LEL. That was the final straw, and I packed with about 280 in the legs.
Came home to my pregnant wife, slept in my own bed and watched ventoux today. dont regret it a lick.
No word from Ed though. Hope he's ok.
I asked about - the guys in the crash hit a massive drain/hole at he back of a pack (not called or pointed out), but the descriptions didnt sound like him. Think he might just be lying low.
hope so
