The day started a little chilly, but it soon warmed up and the sun was lovely and warm.
This is me at the start, with my day bike. I used this bike today as I was with a colleague from work who is just starting to ride. 
This was my view of the start, we managed to get quite near the front. With over 700 riders doing the half marathon we did well to get so close to the front.
My finishers medal. This was a real eye opener for me. I actually found it difficult to cycle so slowly, I kept wanting to 'get going'. I didn't even find the hills a problem. Gail was struggling. This made me realise that I am getting quite fit, in such a short space of time. What would I be like if I really pulled my finger out and did some serious training. We finished in 1:32. I felt like it was just a warm up, I am really pleased.
