The start of the GNBR

Well I did it 54 miles in 3hrs and 3 mins in a 20mph plus wind.

Hardly any training and pre race preparations consisted of a chicken curry and five pints of real ale, proper cyclists food.

If truth be known I was sort of hoping that it was going to be raining and I was going to wimp out.

I felt okay in the end, I did see some poor soul who looked like they had collapsed, they appeared to be deceased but friends and paramedics were working on him, I hope he made it.
