I had an enjoyable but busy day. Sorry i didn't get much of a chance to say hello to you all in B&Q. Estimates from the police was about 8000 bikes down on last year. No significant issues on route except one lass to wiped herself out on the way in.   I only gave away 10l of water this year too again down on last year. which was good for me as I have to buy the water. Thank the gods for Costco being down the road from me.   I was nice to see the number of ladies riding solo increased too. and there were a fair few with spanners in their hands at the side of the road fixing their bike too.
