    I was due to do a round trip and gave up after 70 miles. Too wet to care
    anymore and now I am suffering from a chest infection :-( Still it was all
    for charity but next time I am just giving a donation and staying in bed.
    At least I was prepared and dressed appropriately, I feel sorry for all
    those once a year cyclists with all that wet clothing chafing.

    I ended up riding 130 miles that day. My feet were so sore by the time
    I got home, 8 hours of being soaking wet. I saw a couple of accidents
    on the way up, one guy looked pretty bad, he was taken to hospital
    according to the paramedic I spoke to.

    Just in case anyone saw a bunch of guys walking around Midsummers Common
    in Cambridge wearing black bin bags...one of them was me. Sorry :-)

    I did see someone in black plastic bin liners at Cambridge. We were the
    ones spilling coffee due to the shivering! Respect on doing 13o in that
    weather, I feel like a wimp now :-)

    I saw that accident soon after it had happened. Not sure if it was a
    collision or equipment failure but it looked like his forks had snapped just
    below the brakes.

    I hope he is ok as it looked like some nasty facial injuries

    Cut back on the alcohol consumption and you'll dry out quicker ;-)
