First serious training session for L2P24 - 71 miles up and down the hills around Gatwick on Sunday in 5hrs 11, temp 1 - 4 DegC and plenty of wind and rain to contend with.
The organisers own course clearers summed it up.."We’ve done lots of events all across the country over the last few years but this year’s Ride It Gatwick event is definitely one of the muddiest, coldest and wettest I can rememb...er....Despite several layers of Gore Bike Wear’s finest the cold and wet still managed to find it’s way in after several hours on the bike. I think it’s the first time in 5 years of doing the job that we actually thought about calling the support van out for ourselves especially after Keith picked up his fourth puncture of the day."
I've still got no feeling in 3 of my fingers - roll on Spring!
