England : Cambridgeshire Sawtry sportive

[STEPHAN DAVIS]

Hi

Just wondered if anyone out ther was planning on doing the Wiggle Sportive this Sunday in Sawtry? I'm planning on doing the "epic" 90 miles but have only ever done a 65 mile leisure cycle before plus I will be cycling alone. Am I biting of more than I can chew????

I'm not riding it but I think I passed half the signs tonight on my wee ride, I didn't see anything to challenging you'll be fine and you certainly won't get lost

Cheers! Feeling confident - i just need to pace myself! Planning on keeping to 15mph average until around 70 miles and then seeing what i've got left in the tank! My wife is making up some of her magic flapjack and i've got enough energy drink to keep me awake for a fortnight!

how did you get on? I went for lunch at my Mum's near Kimbolton and saw lots of roadies, some lovely bike porn.

It was fantastic! Feeling it in my back and knees at the mo. Two punctures didn't help. Luckily the second one happened just over the finish line. There were some fantastic bikes there today - very jealous!

Well done for finishing. What was your time?

5:23 on endomondo pausing for food breaks and puncture. 5:50 with breaks included. Just got an email through telling me I got a silver! Happy with that for first timer!
