I finished in 5hrs 15mins - pretty happy considering the lack of training and the excess of beer recently, thought it was going to take me 7hrs+. Best part was getting in a fast group for about 10 miles which was an amazing experience as I usually ride by myself, sadly it also meant that when I got dropped the last 6 or 7 miles were agony, thought about quitting a couple of times on the lead up to Westminster but ate about 4 gels instead and pushed through.
Great day out though, raised a grand for charity and looking forward to next time.
Thanks for the links to the photos and times....not sure I'm very photogenic on a bike
