I was ill on Sunday evening, so I guess I was coming down with something on Saturday. Disappointing, but I don't think I could have gone fast enough to have finished the whole planned route.

The route is nice, and as you say, it's nearly 200 km even without the extra control at Royston. With one judiciously placed info control, it'd make a good calendar ride.

There was a lunar eclipse on Saturday, and in Europe we got to see the end of it as the moon rose. In your photo of the moon you can see the shadow of the Earth taking a bite out of the top.
