Also a wet day with torrential rain and wind for the 50, only they had to ride 5 times as far as those of us in the club event. Pete Edwards did a pretty good ride for his first 50, and Pete Mitchell was pleased to finish without running out of steam and still do a respectable ride to boot. Jake was delighted to hold off Ann, who started one minute behind - all four ladies were grouped together in the middle of the field, guaranteeing them the same conditions. Everyone finished looking like drowned rats - including the poor marshals. There were a large number of DNS and a good number of DNF.
