Firstly many thanks to all of you for attending the CBRE event. Without you making the effort to turn up we wouldn’t have a peloton and for some of you I know the most enjoyable parts of the day are when we are riding along as a group (that may possibly have something to do with the fact that that only happens when we are on the flat).
I thought I would take the opportunity to share with you the statistics of the day which have been kindly provided by David Nairn.
Distance – 62.84 miles
Climbed – 4860 ft
Average speed – 15.4 miles per hour
As a number of you disappeared before afternoon tea and the prize giving, for those that are interested I’ve also rounded up the various awards which were distributed:
- GC Winner – Les Ross
- Interim Sprint – Giancarlo Romano (whose birthday it was)
- Stage Winner – Jason Baggaley
There were two special prizes neither of which were handed out yesterday but will be forwarded to the recipients:
- A book of ‘40 Country Walks in Perthshire’ – Andrew Lapping for his exploits on the ‘Wall’
· A case of St Mungos lager, kindly supplied by West Brewery for the most courageous climber of the day – Ewan Black
We hope you all enjoyed the day as much as we did in organising it. A number of you have already provided feedback on the route, including the comment that anything less hilly would be ‘dumbing down the challenge’. If you have not already done so, we would be very grateful for a simple ‘we’d like the same thing next year please’ or ‘we’d like something flatter.’
