Evans Cycles Sportive RideIt! Chilterns
Event info
Set in the heart of Buckinghamshire, we start with a gentle spin out of Prestwood and quickly descend into Great Missenden, the resting place and once home of legendary British author Roald Dahl. From here, we head north into some quintessentially British countryside riding, passing through several picturesque villages and visiting some of the best natural viewpoints the Chilterns have to offer. With some testing climbs along the way, including the demanding terrain around Haddington Hill (the highest point in the Chilterns), this ride is sure to test strength and stamina. As you pass Chequers, the Prime Minister’s countryside retreat, you’ll know that you’ve almost completed a fantastic day’s ride. The ups on this course are rewarded with some great descents, quiet roads and spectacular views in one of the UK’s oldest Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Its tragic but worth noting that this is just statistics playing out. Same happens at most mass participation sports events. The London Marathon...
Those at the back of the peleton should get a special award, they were trying to finish withing drug fueled time limits.
'Sold Secure rated' isn't particularly informative without mentioning the actual rating (in this case the lock is Bronze rated).
I'd find a physio who would have a look. They will do tests to determine where the issue lies, the extent of mobility and maybe some exercises....
An uh-oh email signifying that it took Tadej Pogacar to dethrone you, that's pretty impressive. You'd want to keep that email.
It was a bit of a tongue in cheek suggestion
The thing we're envious of over here in the UK is ... any largely motor vehicle-free area (still not normal for UK). Never mind one with formal...
