Well done Ed & Graham for yet another great event. Graham advises that there were 104 signed on at start plus 4 latecomers. Despite the forecast the weather was not too bad and thanks very much to Ray Dare (& others?) for checking the course on Friday when the weather was not so kind. I am reliably informed that Ray was so soaked that he had to get in the bath and get warmed up before extricating himself from his clothes. Thanks also to Irene, Jake & Terry for helping out at the signing on. There were ques of riders at 9.30 and we were almost over-run but thanks to all riders for being so patient! I have to say Graham despite your apprehension that the numbers might be down you obviously did a fantastic job in getting the message out! Definitely an event to try and continue with so I hope you can stand the pace for another year. Thanks must also go to Ed for marshaling at Leith Hill, it was a cold and long job. Good also to see Mick Ayeliff at the top of white down and thanks for the shove just what the Dr. ordered! Great to see so many racing clubs take part particularly De Laun who if we had a puncture reward would certainly have won. I think I saw Geraldine more that 4 times as Merik and she passed me only to be overtaken again and again. Good also to see Amanda (KPRC) on new CUBE bike 1st time out & Stewart but alas they were not on the hilly 50. Pity there were not more KPRC riders supporting this CTCSWL event as they are the racing offshoot!
