Huge thankyou to all those who organised and supported this friendly and enjoyable event. As a retro rider good to see so many old bikes complete with brake cables and downtube shifters. Met and chatted with lots of riders some of whom had travelled big distances to support this event. The weather was favourable-ish (looked like it was going to be wet some of the day but nothing fell on us), winds in the face in the morning but then blew us all the way back to the start, so someone has massive powers of persuasion. The lunch stop, at Marton, a highlight but wasn't bad when we returned to HQ either and another spread, even complete with soup. I can't make the Rally this summer so wanted to support this event anyway and tend not to do many sportives these days but this was special and well worth doing - thanks again and see you next year.
