Was there also. Great day for it and always a great route apart from those 2 last hills.

Travelodge have always upgraded me to the nearby Premier Inn when I ride my bike through the door…
Yes those last two hills were a bit mean 😅 I did wonder if any other CycleChatters might have attended - I didn't meet many other riders as I arrived late and most of the 200km riders had already set off. We caught the first control point with 5 mins to spare 😅

A poorly back meant I hadn't recovered enough to ride the seemingly-dry Llanfair 400. A pity as it's probably my favourite event.
Instead I'm hoping to ride my 400km backup option 1, which is this weekend's Moors & Wolds 400. That's still only a possible, which leaves me with the Not Quite The Spurn Head 400 a week later.

Often interesting waiting at the finish for full valuers as the clock ticks towards the deadline. Will they make it or not, based on reports of last sightings from the last riders to arrive? Always great to see that rider that bursts through the door of the finish just as the deadline arrives. Made it!

That's a good time especially considering the climbing. Well done.

Kicked my riders off on my 400 this morning. Currently there are 44 on the road, after train strikes affected a few more this morning. One rider forgot their bike shoes, doh! I’ll get a ride in this afternoon. Forecast fairly benign, so hopefully I’ll see most of them at the finish tomorrow.

Persuaded my son to join me on the Warwickshire Wanderer Audax (100k). Well, it was either that or the Bryan Chapman Memorial audax. His first, but he did 99.4k a couple of weeks ago with just 2 stops, so should be fine.

Awesome !!!

You should have taken him on the BCM - we had sun and a ton of food there too!! :-)
(and an interminable quantity of climbing, it seemed, but that's beside the point ...

May I enquire why the route uphill from King's wasn't chosen/advised when word came back to King's that the road after Fairbourne was proper closed? It's only 100m more (through several gates) and the same distance; mostly tarmac.(and an interminable quantity of climbing, it seemed, but that's beside the point ...
