What a day , Plenty of Thorpers at the start and what a beautiful day ,Rode for a bit with Geoff and Dave then we lost Geoff at the lights somewhere , so me and Dave joined a group including the star wheelers and stayed with them until about the bottom of the moss this is were i lost Dave ,Sorry mate .

Over and down the Moss and what a beautiful tail wind all the way up woodhead ,after this i joined a small group until i got to the feed station were a couple of old mates caught up and i stayed with the to the finish more or less .

My time was just outside Gold and no book of excuses with a 4hrs and 40mins ,

I only saw jack and marc near the finish on there way home ,Dont know your times fellas just know you got gold well done,

oops i did see another thorper on my way home so i shouted some encouragment out of the car “COME ON GEOFF”

WELL DONE to all Thorpers who took part .

I hope those taking part in the pocklington ride had just as good a day .

Until the 1st of may have fun and pedal hard
