So today I took part in the above and it’s not something I really would want to do again in a hurry to be honest!!
Tash dropped me down to Oxpens at 8.00am where Andy Leach, Kevin Leach, Kenny Clarke and a couple of other lads were waiting for me. They looked the part and we set off. By the time we got to Botley I was struggling, and told them to continue without me. They didn’t need to be told a second time and I was then left on my own to get on with it.
The course was hard, so many hills and coming down the hills didn’t seem to be as long as the length going up them! I used the stops that were set up and managed to catch up with the lads a few times but after 60 miles that was it and I didn’t see them again.
Tash met me at 75 miles for something to eat and then I continued on my way.
I finished in the end at 7.00pm, the timings system had been packed up and closed but I was more interested and proud to finish the course. I have to admit I was so very, very tired. I could hardly move at the end of the route but I’ve done it!
