Lost my legs at the top of Woodhead, and not even the fapjack could pull me round. Must be the soft life of the cruise ship.Good ride all you fellow Thorpers. Great event Martyn.

Great day - fantastic weather (some were completely overdressed - were they expecting a sudden frost?) and certainly something to look forward to again next year. A big THANKS to the organization and Martyn in specific - very well done! I've riden many cyclosportives in Belgium (many many many years ago), like the ToF/Jubaru etc, but this was at a minimum the same standard.

If you want to race go to France you said ;-) Anyway "kicking arse" does that mean going past me backwards on the Moss? You only got back first due to my flapjack addiction on the 2nd feed station, 3 pounds of oats, butter and syrup is a big enough handicap for even YOU to beat me :-) Thought these events were fun, challenging and not competitive?
