There's also one next month, spaces still available. Doubt it'll be anywhere near as busy as yesterday.

Yesterday was my second attempt at the L2B, had a 6am start time but by the time the BHF transport got me to Clapham I didn't start riding till nearly half 6.

Had a great ride and passed/dodged many with a moving time of 2hrs 59 mins, well pleased as that knocked nearly 40 minutes off last years debut time. Average speed nearly 18mph smile

Cant wait till next year but will stay up there on the Saturday night so I can be one of the first at the start line to get a clear run.

I also cycled in my PH top, chatted to another Pher in the old style top. Hello to you!

We started at 7 and after the first few miles we didnt hit much traffic. Loved the route and did Ditchling with 2 stops to stretch my cramping thigh.

Final time was 3hrs 57 with about an hour of waiting and 1 stop for water.

I left at 6.30, on my MTB with knobbies

Got there at 10.30. Suprised at the number of idiotic riders about. Had a few close calls by people cutting me up etc. Didnt have an off though.

Enjoy doing it on the MTB, I think i'd get too carried away chasing times on a roady.
