08\10\16 - Cambridge Autumnal 200km Audax

This time it was 214kms from Girton, through Bury St Edmunds to Framlinham (101kms) and then a return via the Maglia Rosso, Hawstead (151kms) to Girton.  Expecting a difficult outward bound journey, I was surprised to find myself careering along for the first half of it at a quickish pace.  However the wind-assisted first half of the return was very quick.  The remainder wasn't quite so fast yet I still went through the 200km mark in just over 8 and a half hours of riding time.  A reasonably fine day with the obligatory half hour of rain.  I targeted a return before dark, got it, so treated the day as a success.  No technical problems, or any other.  PW.
