I saw you and Clare getting your bikes ready in the car park as I rode past. I called out 'hello' to you both but I had a feeling that you didn't recognise me (probably because I've put so much weight on). You were literally just about 20 yards ahead of me, Alun, tubbycyclist and oldfatfool at the foot of Heptonstall Road but you were climbing faster than us so we didn't see you again! Yes, I'll certainly be up for SITD again in 2012. Illness forced me to miss this year's event which I was upset about because it was such a lovely day. Hopefully I will have a good winter and be fit enough to do a reasonable time next year. I used to do it in about 6 hours but the last couple of times took me over 8 hours.

Sorry we missed you Colin; I don’t know how we did. We were about the last to be controlled at Coldwell, after I nearly bonked and my chain snapped, and certainly the last to get any tea there.

See you at next years SITD?

That is why I love Audax events, so friendly!

I’ve been rubbish at commenting recently as well, glad you are posting again!

Hi Amy – nice to hear from you again. I haven’t been commenting on many blogs recently but I am still subscribed to your RSS feed and follow your adventures. Congratulations on all of them and I hope you get over your illness and injury problems soon!

Yes – we were looking forward to the food after SoM but when we were late arriving at Coldwell, I had a sneaky suspicion that they would be packing up by the time we got back to HQ! It was nice of them to unpack a few cake tins for us because it had been a long day for them and they must have wanted to get home.

Shame I was working would have loved to do this event.

But nearly missing out on food is bad!
