Mood: Awaiting the arrival of the sun and the disappearance of the rain
I had my DSC shirt on.... At one point I was stood about 15 yards from one of the TV cameras (on the exit of the Bus stop before Devils Elbow) so those of you with Sky Sports keep an eye out 4 me on the TV coverage (Black T and black Furygan leathers... the camera would have been looking straight at me when it followed the bikes out of the bus stop)
Am in the process of downloading the pics from the laptop so will put a few up once I've got them edited/watermarked etc.

I'd like to complain about the complete lack of catering facilities heading south.
I had it in mind to stop on the way home at the Little Chef just north of Moreton-in-the-March. However, a road-closure accident kept a bunch of us cooling our heels for half an hour or so 6 or 7 miles north of there. I hadn't got enough fuel for a detour, so I sat tight. Was really looking forward to that feed.
Got there and it was shut! I *always* stop there on the way back from Donington or wherever. So, sod it, I thought, I'll press on to the one at Stow. Damn me, that was shut too! And that's a real surprise, cos it's not in the middle of nowhere like the other one.
Aha - that would have put you about 5 miles from me! Should have dropped by for coffee and donuts here!
FYI - All the Little Chefs that aren't attached to a Travel Lodge have been shut down permanantly. RIP
