Those who were poorly (ye' Right) really did miss an Epic!!!!

Al'
Jan
Justin
Pete
and last but not least
Me (Syd)
good routing ish, I think I believe Al' when he says part of the route he cut out would of been even tougher!!
The toughest for me was the ride @ 40 miles upto the top on Ffestiniog Moors!!!
Nice breeze against (NOT)
Cafe was good a bit long to wait, my legs wern't happy riding for ages after!!!
My pack might of been a bit bulky but am pleased I had my Stash!!!
oh and Before, Justin takes the Michael I had my MP3 with me to distract my from the only 30+ miles to go at the top of somewhere else.
Am chuffed with myself and am as confident as I can be that the GFC won't be so tough now I've done this grueller!!!

Syd - I had everything ready to go and that includes the plot for the ride, inc. of hills, peaks, towns, mountains. The GF has the advantage of starting between mountains - there is no warm up - just roads skywards if its the route out that I think it is out of there.
None the less - well done team Melyd - and for the record what reason would I have to miss out on something to make the GF a little easier, and the peaks after that? Hmmm, ponder that for a bit :p
Glad you all enjoyed it : )
pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat (... to be shared equally - no fighting at the back).
...am I also right in thinking that Paul had "tummy upset" too? Was I alone in my personal anguish.
Way to get back to my Christmas weight though - in the space of an evening!
Rides this evening - I have heard a rumor there are two rides a chain gang (D9 course or the one with the larger hill in it?) and a normal ride? Looks to be wet, but whats new.
Guys, thanks for your kind words of care and friendship...

Honest, been really poorly. I now weigh 11st 2lb - 9lbs gone in a week!
I will be out on Sunday but for recovery only - no racing!
Had a good smile with these posts. I reallly should do some work, I've not been here this week!
