Me and Mrs Wife had a weekend ticket, and we took part in our first Sportive (50 miles) on Saturday. It was hotter than a hot day in Holtsville but great fun. Enjoyed the weekend, but we did not take part in any of the evening events, mainly 'cos we where to knackered after the ride and then after walking round the event and exhibitions. It was great to see some of the nutters doing great stunts on the different stands, and it was great to see all the new trick gear. My favourite stand was the Cooper Bike stand, I road three of the demo bikes and they where FAB.
It would have been nice to have somewhere quiet to sit and relax for a few minutes, and the bloke on the PA was annoying, mate if you've got nothing interesting and relevant to say SHUT UP!
It was a great weekend and I've already put next year in the diary.
