@Fab Foodie & FunnyMummy: Thanks for the compliments.
@xxmimixx: Excellent write up. Clearly you benefited from the earlier start time - my plan also for next time. On the other hand I benefited from two or three chewy bar stops; a burger stop; a tea, banana and hotdog stop (top of Ditchling); plenty of fluid (had to stop twice for a comfort break); and I was lucky enough to have at least one good official photo (still looking to see if I'm in any others). Like you, the legs were fine - just stiff around the back of the shoulders, and while riding considerable stiffness in the elbows (thinking my riding position may need a tweak).
Looking forward to the next time. I saw that BHF are also considering a night run - I'll probably pass on that one.
