FORCE Century Cycle Challenge - superb!

This is both a big 'thank you' to the folks that organised this:

and a 'heads up' for next year, if you fancy a superb sportive in Devon (though only 1,000 places available!)

I've just finished it, and it was superb - a really good 100-mile route (there's a 55 option as well, but that misses out the wonders of Exmoor), really quick registration and get-away (I arrived at 7.30 for the free breakfast, and they got all the 100-milers away at 8.00). There were excellent food stops every 20 miles (with more lovely cake and sandwiches than you could possibly eat) with friendly helpers everywhere. It was well signposted, and the sun shone and it wasn't bowing a gale. No timing chips, but who really needs those these days for something that isn't a race?

Congratulations and thanks to all involved for a brilliant day.

That's all.

Was a good day out, my arms are a little red from sun burn

I will echo Brian's comments. An enjoyable ride and a good scenic route.
