Headwinds, coz they make it hard.

The BHF Insomnia ride at bedgebury is a cracking event as was the Wiggle Southdowns Epic, and the Prostate cancer tour ride in wales... The Great Tour wasn't bad either ;)

Definitely getting a Gold standard time in the Wiggle Southdowns epic despite getting a big tubeless puncture and riding 15km with 10psi in my front wheel.... and the Prostate Tour ride wales was the furthest I'd ridden in one hit :) used both on my 44 mile daily commute which is getting quicker and quicker.
