    Isn't this for families and kids pootling around on hybrids?

    Will be giving it a miss.

    Get there early enough 9 - 10am and it might be empty enough for a 20-25mph blast around the route... though I'm not recommending, endorsing or encouraging that.

    During the afternoon you have to watch out for suicidal children! Best bet for speed is either BF Tunnel and a dose of luck with the filtering or to get to the front of a marshal controlled stop and then give it large into the clean air.

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    2 hours for 17 miles? really?

    It was 18.28 miles and took 2:04 actual pedalling time or 3:30 if you include the 2 food stops and 2 tyre changes :D

    I didn't wake up till 12, kinda missed that boat :cry:
