Etape Pennine

Just back from taking part in the Etape Pennines http://www.etapepennines.co.uk/coursemaps.html bike ride with Dave and Mark in Durham. It was the best sportive I have done. Brilliant tough route [including the highest road in England] perfect weather [sun and little wind] closed roads [no cars] plenty of feed stops. It could not have been better.
Dave and I went up to Durham last night and stayed with Dave's friend Mark, then set off at 7.30 this morning. I did a time of 6 hours 13 minutes for the 78 miles and 2,300 metres of ascent which I was pleased about.
