Great story there and a big well done on your journey to today and the event itself !!

 

[Tiny01]

Well done...but weren't you meant to do it on your MTB

Ha ha indeed it was supposed to be on the MTB & not even this event !

I blame you lot of roadies anyway !

In fact the first sportive I'd planned was the London to southend mid July , now I've done one already and another planned for may 8th & 15th one early June then the London to Brighton !!!

Still who cares I'm well happy & think I'll be out again today

 

[Tiny01]

Well done thats great and inspires me to push further.

I was around the area today writtle arear with my boys and just seeing all those bikes just made me want to get out there and join in.

I will definatly be putting my name down for this next year.

Thanks or the mention, yes its the one up I think from mine, mines allu, this one is the carbon version I believe.

Well done. Nothing beats your first sportive

...except the realisation that you've ridden your last one

Glad you enjoyed it, though.
