That was stinking, numb and sodden, glad I had a legit excuse to bail. Good luck out there guys!

I bailed after (I think) 13 laps, Ian.
Legs felt good but I was just too cold - couldn't feel my feet and gear changes were becoming more and more clumsy due to my lack of fine motor control. they were still going when I slunk ignominiously out of the car park...

Yeah, you got the rough end of the deal there I thought, you always seemed to be out by yourself! I left you at the end to do a final lap with the birthday girl then left.

Wow, I saw stripey arm warmers and van nik disc brakes at about 12 noon! I was walking with three greetin' bairns (all cold and wet), and it was you two I felt sorry for!
Arm warmers was saying her rims were wet and she couldn't feel her fingers, van nik was boasting about his discos!!!

Dammit, wish we had gone for the podium kiss now
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes, turning up to ride or cheer us on, and to everyone who was committed to the 31laps before the weather turned horrible. A second go will be attempted, perhaps waiting til winter when the weathers better?
Stripey arm warmers is my partner in crime/road racing pal, sandy

If you do it at the same time the ice rink/German Christmas market is there, I might be tempted

Yeah - 23mm tyres, streaming wet roads, outbraking everyone else.....
...and I didn't die a horrible death caused by lack of contact patch

Jamie - I was wearing my new pink lycra... chuck rain into the mix and I was looking pretty good for the naked ride that was starting at 3.

Well done guys - horrible weather for you!

We ended up going away for the weekend so I didn't get down to lend support. If I'd known some of the riders would have been Hervelo'd up then I might have been able to persuade SWMBO to come along as she's also a Herveloer. She's new to road biking though and still hates hills, so might not have been keen on laps of the park!

Hey guys, had hoped to make it along to support you a bit this weekend but other events kept me away unfortunately. I will hopefully be able to come along for your next try at it (and am sure naomi would want to come along as well)
Well done on keeping it up for as long as you did, the weather was pretty awful.
