    Who'd have thought a bunch of overly competitive commuter cyclists could win a second year running!

    Well done everyone :-)

    I've got a feeling our cards are marked already for next year.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Behind the bar at either the Morpeth or Roebuck surely :P :roll:
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Pipped at the line for the KoM jersey. Gutted I couldn't include the 200km of hurricane-powered monsoon riding on Sunday too. Will try to top 1000 miles next year :)

    Sorry Keyser!! But very happy to have won the polka dot jersey! Just to cement it, I rode the Bealach Na Bo on Tuesday, the highest pass in Britian, was a hell of a climb, but a great sense of achievement! Cheers to Depford for the graphs, really good stuff.

    I was up there last week. Didn't ride it though as was with Mrs. Hell of a climb, I take it you went from Loch Carron to Applecross that last section is well steep!

    Yes, did the circuit from Applecross via Shieldaig, then back towards Lochcarron before the monster climb. Was into a bit of a headwind and driving rain on the coast up from Applecross, and that is far from flat! On the way up the climb, it was again into the wind and rain, and into the low cloud near the top. Great sense of achievment, and a slow descent, with the brakes nearly being fried. Though was thankful not to have the panniers on as I had for the previous 500 odd miles!
