For those of you thinking of doing this one, I need to outline the pros and cons:

Pros - Good road surface/ Tailwind for the last 20 miles / Riders encouraging each other/

Cons - The climbing !  (equivalent to twice over the Bwlch!)  46 mile leg into the wind ..

Time for a lie down....

I targeted a 20mph average (5hrs) and just made it with 4:56:58.

It was a harsh introduction into the world of endurance cycling.  A lot of the riders where Ironman triathletes. By way of comparison, David Brice from the Bynea who did 21:26 on the Thursday night did 4hrs 33 mins, so relatively I improved against him!

I should have mentioned the scenery was breathtaking, whilst riding uphill I had a lot of time to enjoy it!

All 'psyched' for the 12, now?

[Steven]

Nope, don't want to think about it at the moment... !

Most impressive result of the day though was young Josh Tarling's 4:49, he's only 12, and he also won the youth omnium at Maindy on the Saturday.

12?? I'm giving up cycling
