Unfortunately, for the first time since 1988 I won't be on the start line this year - knee injury. Best wishes to everyone taking part on Sunday; have a safe, enjoyable (?) and successful ride. To those doing for the first time, beware of getting hooked - I entered in 1989 just so I could say I'd done it once!
To the over-six-hour brigade: I hope to be back with you next year!
