Good work dell.
Did you wear longs ?
.
for the first seven miles or so, and then over the Bridge. And let me tell you, that bridge is something in a cross wind. I was glad not to have bladed spokes. I wouldn't be surprised if they closed it tonight.
My big mistake was lunch. I'd intended to stop at a sort of works canteen in Flixborough. It serves school dinners gone large for about four quid a go - the only problem being the hill that awaits you when you get under way again. But........when it started to rain I dropped in to a chippy in Keadby, and I have to say that I was kind of concerned when I started eating. Spool forward six miles, and, on that very hill outside Flixborough, the fish and chips described a perfect arc over my handlebars.
After that I was pretty done in - crawling in to Hull at about 2.15, having taken five and a half hours to do the seventy odd miles.
(I was dazzled on an Oxford-London ride several years ago.)
You are so mean to mention that incident. In any event Teef was the hero of the hour. It could be you next time 
(Hopefully there won't be a next time).
