Totally agree, great organisation, atmosphere and route. Nice to have a band playing when you get back as well.

Lucked out with the weather too.
Less positive was the half dozen gel wrappers I picked up and binned on a dog walk this morning - it's really not that hard to pocket them.

You got a good time there bikebouy - though I'm guessing you'd wish a couple of minutes faster?? Next time....

I'd like to think they are pocketed wrappers that have fallen out when getting things from pockets rather than chucked on the ground on purpose, can't be sure though.

Hope you're right, but with the Fred Whitton, Lakeland Loop etc coming through here, it's a regular thing.

Saw somebody drop a wrapper so I did say something as I went past and got a torrent of abuse. Picked a few up on my way round Its not hard to put them back in your pocket or is it??

It was a fantastic day - so well organised and with the weather it was a belter!

Whilst i was riding i did notice a couple of discarded wrappers but tbh, given the high numbers of people involved, there will always be the odd wrapper that falls out of someones pocket.

Ha!! How do you know the times??
TBH I should have left the Camelback at home and ridden with a bottle etc. that would have saved a few kgs of extra weight, saving those precious few mins!

I too saw a few guys dropping gel wrappers, such a sad state of affairs considering...
