It was one of the most pleasant experiences of my life. It was challenging, the weather was in my words in my favour - wet, windy, sunny at times. It was good that it wasn't sunny as I would definitely not liked it. Overall I loved the fact that I could do it. It was 86.6 miles route reduced from 100 because of bad weather. Box hill and Leith Hill were removed being considered dangerous because of heavy rains, probable mud slides and steep downhill gradient. A 6.5 mile ride to start and more on the return made it 100 mile journey. The preparation was worth the effort. Time amd money spent on shoes, cleats, new pedals, show cover, body warmers, was useful. Also not forgetting that no un necessary money spent on event branded merchandise.
