Well, that was fun!! First time for me, great event, excellent support and organisation, fabulous course.
Third man off and one of the two ahead didn't show so only had one to chase! Caught him in Hallow and only passed by about 4 others so well happy with that.
2hrs 1.54, only problem encountered was my aero bottle bouncing out near Upper Sapey (don't they test these bloody things!! grrrr) Went back for it only to find top had disappeared so it was useless anyway. Would have been well miffed if that had cost me going under 2hrs but I don't think I lost 1.54!
Waved to a few WFCRC's heading up to Ankerdine, couldn't hang around to see the other guys in but hope everyone had a good ride.

Good ride for your first one Dave !! I got round in 1.53.04, a PB for me... 8 minutes faster than I went before !!

I think the liitle posse that gathered around the Ankerdine Hill area spurred me on a little !!

Had trouble all the way round with my glasses, ended up lauching them at Darby and his followers! May switch to the vizor now !!

Good rides from you both today in what is a really testing race. I'm gutted to have punctured halfway up Stanford bank, think it was bouncing over those crater sized pot holes on the previous fast descent!

It will be good to get more entry's from wyre forest next year!

If you like suffering and generally punishing yourself then this one is for you ;D

I may have backed off a bit if I knew you wasn't behind me !

Did you have a spare or have to wait to be swept up?
