    Just about to tuck into some Welsh lamb:-)

    I opted for the Medio at 97 miles, met Mickg Martin and also Angela who hasn't ridden with the club for a while but will be back.

    Phil K also did Gran but I only saw him from the car as I was heading for my civilised 9.30 start.

    enjoyed that

    good climbs, awesome decents, great road surfaces, good food stops, good weather(including the downpour towards the end = cooling!)

    140miles (225km), 2900m of climbing, ride time 9hrs 25mins, total time 10hrs 9mins

    whilst it is a "big" sportive with lots of riders, the route, the climbs and the views are marvellous - would recommend

    V Cool.
    Shame the Fred Whitton Challenge (13,000ft & 112 miles inc' some dangerous descents on ridiculously rippled tarmac) can't be moved to accommodate you in 2015.

    Suspect lactic acid might have a thing to say were that the case?
