Did a 300km DIY with a friend on Saturday from Hove to Whitstable. Bloody hell it was a bit of slog. Had a grim headwind from Hastings to Whitstable and my friend ended up bonking pretty hard. The route was backloaded with elevation too so probably not ideal for someone running on fumes. The last 50km were a bit soul destroying with what felt like never ending hills.
Glad to have finished it though and even managed to top it up to a double century in the end.
You must have run into some of the riders from Oasts and Coasts depending on the route you took?
One of the colder/windier editions last weekend, I've definitely eaten chips from the cafe in herne Bay in the seafront in some previous years instead of shivering indoors like we were.
