Quite a cold day little or no wind for half of the stage then a gradually increasing all day (At last a tail wind for one third of the stage).
Bright periods throughout the day and it remained dry.
An early start ended up by being a staggered start when riders were ready.
One major climb at 10 miles but otherwise fairly flat, this is probably the trickiest day for navigation with about 45 miles of cycle paths merging and crossing main roads .
My saddle post is holding up well, it was a treat to be back in my normal riding position.
Mark and I went on ahead independently but finished together, the rest of the group came through with John(Bike Adventures).
Gary had a puncture.
