The weather for HTB was perfect if a little windy. I met my brother on route as usual and got to the Severn services an hour before kick off. Around 1000 bike's pitched up before the start... We left at 11am and rode through several villages lined with people to cheer us through. This took almost 2 hours before arriving at Chepstow Race Course.
Apart from an enormous bike show car park there was only a hand full of traders - mostly charities and one band playing Genesis; unlike what was promised... It wasn't a scratch on when it was held in Chepstow town in past years, so we left soon after and had fish & chips in town...
As a result I don't this I'll be attending next year and go to the Western Beach Race instead... I've done a few HTB rides now. Time for something different...
