this would be my hat trick for this ride although frankly I'm still waiting for a medal for riding it last year in the very cold with more than a bit of ice and snow about, three falls, two very slow and one rather fast, with a ride there and back it's 140 miles for me, a good start to my LEL training although the ride home in the dark wasn't much fun, must start on time this time and get round quicker
can those lovely but very old chaps that man the Town Hall still be alive?

Yes - some of those would be our CTC peeps! Cycling is in their blood, and they can tell you what things were like back in the 50s. The ice, etc. has been a real problem (last year in particular was awful) and that's why we have moved the event to the end of the month.
Third time lucky? See you there!
