Box Hill was stunning today. Before the start, the view south (?) was a blanket of low mist over the contours that you could see for miles.

You mean like this?

 Well done on the category win.  Great stuff. 

I enjoyed it once my fingers came back to life. 3rd in category and 8th overall.  Good to catch up with you again CD.

That is exactly what I meant!

Very well done at the competitive end of the field.

I saw Cheerful Dave not Cheerful: or Dave as I now call him.

Wish I could be that far up the race and be having a bad race. Chin Up.

Saw Slim and gave him a couple of shouts and screamed at a delightful young lady in Pirate gear on the bike which was probably Joddly.

Couldn't hang around for the finish as I had to be back for family duties but did get some MTBing in on the way their and back. Also saw HappyChap in the Leatherhead Firestation 10k on way home, unlike Dave she was in good spirits.

Thanks for the shout, and also for the "young".....

You can always catch up with Joddly at the awards, Slim!
She is always there with a surprised look on her face when they announce her name . Every year!

Same this year.  She was just telling me how she might get third in AG if she was lucky, then they announced third in a much slower time than hers and it was like a light bulb coming on in her head.  Great to see.

Well done all! Sounds like an epic race - I thought they closed off the roads for it. Seems not.
