Thank you
This is a big thank you to everyone who has ever posted advice on this forum. I've been a lurker and avid reader for a while. Well you've all just helped me commute to work by bike, buy an audax bike, go from 14st in December to under 12st and today do my very first sportive, 100 miles in Norfolk/Suffolk at 15.8. I'm like dog with two tails, right now my smile muscles are hurting more than my backside!
Thank you all. 
If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

Chapeau
Congratulations. Keep up the good work and continue enjoying the challenge. I know the feeling after I did my 1st 100k sportive and then my 1st imperial 100 never quite goes away. Once again congratulations and all the best.
