Well that was the hardest thing I have done on a bike so far but loved it. Could not believe the pace of the riders and ended up on my own personal time trial. Thanks to Ian Coutie for the encouragement at the top of the hill, on last lap I was pedalling squares. Not so much thanks to Ginty and the two Alan's, drinking cold beers while others are suffering, mental torture. Thanks to Mark O, Paul. Billy, Charlie and all others who offered kind words at start and end. Knackered, burnt and aching in places I did not know existed but I'll be back for more.
Cheers. Iain
