A credit to you, that John.

Enjoyed that.

makes me sad i missed it again this year, first thing that surprised me was the amount of cars parked up, so many people at the start but you only see a handful when actually biking!

enjoyed that

Last year I literally saw just one couple all weekend (start aside). It was a bit freaky.

Really enjoyed that John, thanks.

They were at every cafe and pub we stopped at!!

Good work John

(though I still don't know why a bunch of you went up north when all the checkpoints were to the south )

good little film but makes it look a lot flatter than Wales actually is! unless I took a route less travelled at 11,150ft of elevation over 80 miles in 1 1/2 days.

Yeah, but just think - you could've ridden Monks Trod is near perfect conditions

(and the bothy count to the south is much better than north)

And were obviusly using the 2016 WRT grid refs... otherwise its not a WRT ride, just a ride with a few mates, so sort of counts
