Hi Gents,

I e-mailed Bob Jones (Cardiff 100 milers RCC) and he confirmed that the start sheet should be issued some time this evening.

Cheers,

Mark.

Far from ideal conditions today, cross wind which seemed not to provide help on any section of the course.

Mark Nott 25.53

Andy H + Chris G  2 up 26.31

Fastest time by Gerry McGarr  don't know exact time 24.40 something I think

Well done to all, good times on a slow course on a windy day and out of season.

( I'll get the excuses in for you!)

No excuses needed not a very nice day for cycling

Did anyone enjoy/ learn anything from the experience (other than that it wasn't a nice day for cycling)?

Feeling quite pleased with myself for once, for not being organised enough to get an entry in!  ;D

Hi All,

Well done to Andy and Chris.

Winner-Gerry McGarr-24.23

2nd-Paul Lambert-25.44
3rd-Mark Nott(Me)-25.52

Conditions were less than perfect to say the least almost lost my front wheel on several occasions,a mile in on the coast road due to very strong cross wind, Phew!!!! was close!. Not to mention the cement wagon that almost dragged me under its rear wheels !!!!

Probably the only time I will win a prize, a bar of fruit and nut chocolate.......makes it all worthwhile!

Cheers,

Mark.
