    You'll have let us know how you got on, it's brutally windy out there and we all no there's nowhere to hid in the fens.

    Did the 112 - really tough in that wind.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    I did the 152 and I thought I was mad doing it in that wind. Nearly got blown off my bike a few times in the crosswinds, which wasn't pleasant. It'll give me an excuse to buy new wheels though :-)

    Bit of a change from the 2011 edition, it was hot and sunny with no wind at all that day. 40 degrees celcius is not conducive to speedy riding though....

    I rode in 2011. But I don't remember the temp getting up quite that high. Mid twenties perhaps...

    No it was for most of the day :mrgreen:
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
