Thank you for reminding me why I love my single life, I feel knackered just reading that lot

Yeah, after three days at my sister's - lovely days, mind - NT and I really enjoyed just sitting yesterday evening, and doing nothing!

And I think I've stripped barely a quarter of the lavender. This job might go on a bit.

I am back, 93 miles in 6 hours and 1 min (moving time) into a howling wind of between 15 and 25 mph.

I arrived a bit late so I had to press on and I managed to catch up the back of the pack just before Tadcaster and by then I was knackered, so I teamed up with a french bloke and we rode the rest of the ride pacing each other which made the ride a lot easier.

At one point I turned off to stop and have a drink and ended up sliding down the road on my arm/leg so I have a bashed up Left Arm and Leg, funny it was in the middle of no where yet there was about 14 people and cars just there to watch funny how that happens.

It was very well organised you got a timing chip for the bike there was loads of food / toilet stops, I have never seen so much food on a sportive, and when we go back we got free Burger & Chips and a Tee Shirt and a Pen and a Notepad.

I am now going to have a bath & inspect the damage to me.

Well done Phil, sorry to hear about the damage. Whens the next one ?

I have only signed up for that one but I will probably so the Seasons of Mists as featured here -> http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/seasons-of-mists.137829/ on the 6th October subject to the weather.

I would be doing the mileage anyway and this was makes it more interesting.
