RideLondon - Surrey 100 anyone?

[Phoenix Lincs]

Just checked the website, they've uploaded more pics and a short film clip featuring each of us. I've already paid for the pics but think I might get the DVD too. Need to do some sums then decide my order of spending - new top/DVD/other stuff (food? Nah, over-rated)

Have a great day folks

His verbal descriptions aren't helping my enthusiasm for next year you know. Think i will just watch with the sound off.

Your right, his commentary whilst not annoying doesn't paint a pretty picture, but Leith hill, is not that bad, it DOES take some getting up, but If an old fat fool like me can get up it, almost anyone can. Those that walked didn't train enough.

Note to self! I really must concentrate on keeping my shoulders down where they should be, rather than up by my ears. No wonder they are tight after Sunday looking at the photos

Just getting my lycra on now. The scare tactic has worked. Off to practice on some of my road humps before i go to work ( northern lingo for southern hills )

The video looks great. I just ordered mine. I pan to frame my medal with a photo as well so I may get the photo pack. After paying for the video I get an email saying they would send me a link once the video was ready. I hope it doesn't take too long

Ouch! That told me. Better get out there and work on my quads!

Sunny day here in flat Lincolnshire

Oh massive kudos to the bloke I saw doing it on a fixed. Rather him than me!

Also saw someone on a Brompton.

Really great price for the tops. Think I may have to raid my piggy bank

They are very good quality also

Guide dogs shirt. One of the last on and got off at Canary Wharf.

Yes I recall you standing by the side enjoying the wind flowing through your hair.

Was odd riding down roads afterwards getting squeezed by busses and angry car drivers.

Definitely doing it again

A full list of results here. Some strange split times with one person managing to average about 50mph for the first 24 miles! Some missing split times for one of the early finishers as well - not sure what happened there! At least you can work out where you finished.

No Offence. 102 miles takes some getting round, it could be some those folk were doing their first 100 miler.

Bloody Hell!

Next year I'll do it on Unicycle.

Well, if its any consolation I had to walk some of the way down to find a safe spot out of the way to fix a flat.

How interesting. No-one quite broke 4 hours - there's a target for next year!!
