Bad news Richard, you're slower than last year :Confused:

Interesting... official timing makes it quicker.. could be where I started strava this year, start line was moved up quite a bit.

3000 at the start was what I heard

Thereabouts... was certainly a lot busier on the road than last year.

Have a look at the Strava flyby, it's hectic :ROFL:

That's pretty cool.. Actually making some interactive use of the data.

This wasn't you, was it?

You wouldn't get me up most of that with ropes, never mind coming down on a bike!

So I'm not going to the annual meet but on Sunday I'm going to this. The weather's looking rather grim so I'll see how it pans out. Winter clothing and footwear will be the order of the day

I was booked in for it last year when the weather was perfect but having broken my back 3 weeks before it was being run I had to cancel out.

I did similar last weekend in Snowdonia. Slighly less climbing but slightly more miles (and a lot warmer). Although I did it over 2 days not one!

Good reconisance for the meet this weekend.... :)
