Every month I get an email where I can see where I have been. It's not easy going back but went back to August 2016 to see where it thought we went after we left Brno.

I have booked into the hotel at the previous services! It's cheap. It means to join the run we have only 13 miles to ride before the run starts. The services will have somewhere to eat and drink for the
