John, Jason and I are at Prezzo, Buckingham. The table is booked under 'Darren'. Turn left inside the restaurant. 3 lads on a massive table. One of them with an extravagant blonde mane.

If you're heading to the restaurant take the A413 route rather than Stowe Avenue as there are roadworks in Buckingham.

Sorry guys, I am going to have to blow out - kinda my own fault for saying I 'might' be doing a sportive a couple of weeks ago and not I 'am' - I am now booked onto family duties tomorrow afternoon.

Have a great ride!

Met up with most of Team Lawn Sausage at the start line, and a fair few others at the first feed stop - shame I couldn't ride the whole route with you guys.

How did everyone find it? I personally thought it was a great course, fast to start with but becoming nicely rolling, with a majority of low-traffic roads and some good views. My mate did well for his first sportive, flagged a bit towards the end but managed the whole 56 mile course at roughly 14mph.

I also managed to pull some cracking poses for the photographers, so I can't wait for the photos to come out...

Great ride. Nice to meet a bunch of phers, 2volvos, Jason +3, guy near the end with the Plenet x. My mate came off on down hill into the back of paramedic car and gashed his arm and had to be recovere, he was more annoyed at them cutting off his jersey. Thanks for a great day guys.

Great day and for about 20mins I was KOM for the Epic course until everyone else started uploading their rides biggrin

I'm a broken man now though!

Edit to add: strange I was KOM but Guffy was quicker than me. Strava glitch as he is not on that segment which is the entire course.
