Great ride today, Thanks to all my fellow DQ'd riders. Great conditions, and an average speed of 20.9mph according to my Garmin - with Mark Rosser and Jase Jones  dishing out the pain, and some very nicely timed turns on the front from Mr Madeley to help keep it smooth and controlled. That said, I did enjoy it when it kicked off at Nash Manor second time round. It feels like a long time since I've been on a fast ride, and I'd almost forgotten how good it feels to push it a bit and feel the legs burning at the end.

Thanks to all invovled in organising this, and especially to Paul L for timekeeping - next time I'll look very closely at the finish on the route map so I go to the correct cafe.

Good turn out this morning 14 for the 3.5 hours and 11 for the 3 hours. One did not sign on. Not many qualified and a few DNF hope everyone got home ok.

I've ordered the same weather for next Sunday. Little lumpy next week same start time.

Thanks for Time Keeping today Paul, we couldn't have asked for much better weather with the way it's been the past couple of weeks.

A good morning out... Thanks All.

Thanks Paul for giving up your time.

Also thanks to my fellow teammates who......."hammered me" !!!!

Really enjoyed the day and definitely learned a lot......especially "do not eat excessive amounts of mixed nuts 7 hours before you ride" BAD IDEA !!!

Cheers Guys !!!

Paul
 I did finish albeit I took 20 mins to get the  tyre seated properly after changing the puncture  then   I took a detour back to my house  in Fleminston to pump my tyre up and get a spare tube and then conducted a 40 mile indicvidual TT in the hope that there would be some stragglers-there werent
Does it count if you do 53 miles??
Only joking I was DNF ....

Reliability rides are far more fun in exceptional weather...how bad can it be up on the bwlch given a bit of wind and rain   ;)

BTW I have a theory that mudguards slow us down dramatically (through drag rather than weight penalty)
