Quite a day today - 5 of the team set off for the longest ride to date - with a few detours at the end I managed 100.2. We concentrated on not riding too fast and keeping together rather than off in twos - I think it worked rather well.
Couple of highlights - the Howester opting for a Strongbow at lunch time which came back to haunt him by Sharnbrook! Sharpenhoe Clappers - another first and quite a steep section after the Bow Brickhill edifice.
You will see also that the training included a section to prepare us for the short ferry ride - the bikes and rest of the team are being towed behind the pedalo.
One nasty pair of yobs had a good time coming through Cranfield, pelting passers by with salad tomatoes from their speeding car, and hitting Jules at nearly 50 mph with a tomato bomb on the hill out of Cranfield. May their car be repossessed and carry several dozen speeding fines.
12 sleeps to go!!
