Christ on a bike that was hard. I felt pretty good for the first mile, but then the hills from the Piece of Cake the day before hit me. I trudged around feeling pretty dead for 20 miles, and extremely dead for the last 6. It was a shame as it's a nice race, put on by Malc Collins, but I was in no state to do it justice. Ground it out tho, number 84 in the bag:-)

Gorgeous running around Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd with Denzil's gang. Cake, hills so hard I thought my eyeballs would burst, and downhills like rollercoasters. Awesome fun, defo doing that again!

Hillier than I thought it would be, and some pretty hairy sections running with/into traffic, but a fun day out:-)
