Enjoyed this day on the bike. Really well run event and the route wasnt too bad. No major climbing, just the odd gentle hill.
Never seen some many people cycling before. Even doing the 100k you'd think it might spread out a little, but you were never on your own and there was always 20 or 30 riders in around.
You do have to be careful as to not get taken out, alot of people ride in the middle of the road so forcing you on to the opposite site if you want to pass.
The marshals and guards did a great job manning the junctions, so there was pretty much no traffic for the whole route.
