Ride of the Falling Leaves

At least I'll know for next time.

It was only water I was lacking and even then I came bought 500ml and came home with 500ml...

Fucking glad I beat John Torode though, he was rude to my mu once, had to restore the family honour.

Yep, I thought there were no feeds too... Almost stopped at the petrol station feed, wasted 20 sec dammit to see if it was a timing point..

So for the ride I just rationed my 2 bottles, in the end used 1 gel and 1 energy bar for the whole ride..I think the feed was most likely too far in, oth with Burgess Hill they overfeed you :D

Me too - I had just cracked into my last Mister Choc Peanut when I came up on all the free sugary goodness.

I failed massively on Sunday. shakes head in dismay

Heavy one on Saturday night, woke up Sunday morning on my mate's couch, puked numerous times, looked at my phone (it was out of batt), fell asleep next to my mate's toilet, woke up a bit later and realised I missed the ride. WAC. Hope y'all had an ace one. Will pop that sportive cherry. Eventually...

Too fast to capture...

The only decent shot from the whole set.

Not far behind Jaygee.......

There are so many fake pictures of Jesus that I'm not inclined to believe that this is one.

the photos are a shame.

don't think the guy taking them had ever done a cycle event before from the looks

Have a spare place in the car for rider and bike from Norbury to the race HQ, and back, if anyone is interested.

I'll go by Tube like I did last time, thanks for the offer. I'd welcome a lift from anyone driving down from LB Barnet though.
