Hope you all had a good day.
Did the sportive, made it 99 miles so not a proper century ride (but morally it was!), lovely route through the edge of Southern Uplands.
Wonder how many people did the sportive in the end – my money would be on about 1,000… We set off at 0730 and ended up in a big group coming into Edinburgh, just riders as far forward and back as you could see for the entire route so must have been a huge event. Hope they do the sportive next year, but add a mile or two into it to make it a full 100!
Had some isotonic sports recovery gin and a small glass of red for morale tonight…
ps to the guys with big rucksacks and panniers – what was in there? A camelbak or pannier I can understand, a pair of panniers or 35l sack I can't…
EDIT – finest moment definitely having a poo in the portaloos in Douglas. And sincere apologies to the poor sod who went in there after me.
