I am number 44 and there seems to have been a mistake in my identity!!
I arrived at the stile to see a queue 20m+ long and promptly joined the back of it! I was then joined by a friend of mine with whom i had a chat as we waited at least 5 minutes until we were at the front. He climbed over, I passed him my bike and off i went!
While i was waiting a rider did continue past the whole queue seemingly oblivious to the heckling coming from the queing crowd, I can confirm however that that rider was deffinately not number 44!!
