And it was lovely when we set off at 7.15....

Headwind and rain didn't help. Rode there, climbed, took a picture, rode down. The wind was 'interesting' on the first bit down from the viewing area (which wasn't much of one today unless you're a fan of mist).
We'd been right behind a MX rider who washed out on a bend leaving Huddersfield which didn't help the nerves flying downhill. Helped him get the bike out of the road. It was stupidly slippy but couldn't see any diesel or similar. He reckoned a lot of the new smooth tarmac is lethal for bikes.
35 miles, Happy days.
