was a sportif thing so lots of stops for tea and cake!!!

to be fair the weather was shocking, horrendous gales and then at 80 miles it started to chuck it down, the bike was almost launched into the nearest hedge by 95 miles!!! No grous to work with so the going was tough...they say it's good trainng though for what exactly I'm not so sure!
Blimey, I'm dead impressed in that case. Stopping for tea and cake is vital I reckon. Mind you isn't needing a triple a sin of weakness:

Got our local sportif in a couple of weeks, Dragon Ride, 120 miles and loads of climbing. Rubbish feed stations last year, no cake!!
