When I was ill last weekend I decided that I would probably not be able to ride today's Brian Robinson sportive https://www.sportident.co.uk/entries/event.php?event_id=193. Dave was going to do it anyway so I decided to give it a go. Brian is a local man who was the first Briton to win a stage of the Tour de France. Now 78 and still cycling Brian flagged us all off at 9 this morning.
What a ride. 77 miles, 3000metres of climbing [that's up Snowdon 3 times], great weather, good people, good organisation - fantastic. It took me 6hr 20minutes which qualified for a bronze certificate [much better than I thought I would do]. Dave did a good time too, so we were both chuffed.
