I walked quite a bit due to congestion. Which is shame as I would have beaten my 100 mile time by several hours. I would like to do the Brompton race on the Saturday next year.

A few accidents, but none of them caused any holdups

Let’s see if I can actually get my 2nd Acceptance through the Ballot!!?? Mandy: gutted that we never actually got to meet up on the day; I was sensible & went in pen H behind our start, rather than be a dick & try to jump into our actual pen G
