7:15 AM: Louise offloading £350 worth of groceries. That’s the quietest the kitchen will be all day.

9 AM: Riders registering, having a cup of strong coffee and why not, a little pre-event stretch.

9:45 AM: More riders with itchy feet while Don, his father and Peter wonder aloud where they have put the starter pistol. So much for entrusting this to former pilots!

10:30 AM: Riders have gone. Dane entertains Jules with some hilarious GPS stories before scooting off on marshall duties.

5 PM: Don still crunching numbers. 138 very satisfied Audax riders; another success for West Surrey CTC!.
Well done Louise and your team of helpers. The food and tea were excellent. I never thought I could have stopped half way round as we took this ride/race far too seriously.
I put in a sad face icon in the previous entry but this was removed plus the remainder of my entry. Went on to say how the pictures gave me a real flavour of the event and thanks to Louise for posting them. Best wishes to all.
So sorry I wasn’t able to help or ride this year
