Respect due to @middleagecyclist for the way he dealt so professionally with the unconscious man.

All in all a good ride. I had my first visitation of the puncture fairies, hope it isnt a common occurance this year! The weather seemed to be at its worst every time we pointed South! It was good to put faces to names and I have promised to go on a "hilly" ride if I like skol posts it this year!

Riding the Wilier. Its easier to remember the bikes than faces!

Lets just say no one got left behind

Oh, and look what happened...

Great ride and glad the Diehards lasted to the end, real heroes (especially Yahuda's mate, Ali)!

Will post more later when, like Skud, I have appeased SWMBO!
