Are you going to knock these 2am cheese and wine jollies to France on the head then and do some East Angular sportives instead? Spring Saddle usually guaranteed some nice sportive weather...;-)

I remember doing Spring Saddle a few years ago. It was a lovely event in shit weather. Newmarket Racecourse is a tremendous place even for someone with zero interest in horseracing. Suffoldk Spinner's good too.
There will, of course, be a 2am garlic-and-surrendering trip at some point.

More sportives than you can shake a stick at round here. I ended up tailing one a couple of weeks back, looked pretty miserable they were 'rationed' what they could take at feed stations (had to present a voucher or something). Always a bad sign - the Wiggle ones allow unlimited grazing

We're back to the great Boudica debacle of a couple of years back. Horrible.
The UKCE once have unlimited grazing regardless of whether they are badged as Wiggle, CW or OS. Very much my sportives of choice.

There was also biblical rain and thunder etc in my part of berkshire around 3am, thankfully only woke me and not the kids or the dog.

Im hoping for less wet.
