Sportive numbero deux

Two weeks and 2 sportives!
Yesterday I did the 'Just Racing' Quattro around the hills of Northamptonshire. I have to say it was a lovely route, not the most lovely day though. A little bit overcast throughout the ride and as soon as I got back in the car...BINGO Sun out!
The exciting thing about this ride  was it was the first time I have taken the Go Pro for a spin...product to come later!
So....onto the ride.
The event was organised very well, with a map and natty waterproof pocket for it to go into dished out at registration (very sensible).
TOP TIP! Another grassy car park and I learned my lesson about walking on grass in my bike shoes and I brought 2 plastic bags to go over my shoes to prevent water to get in! I got a few funny looks and a couple of envious ones as others complained about wet feet!
There were plenty of signs throughout the route and it was very clear which way to go depending on which route you were on.
At the aid station there was lots of what you would expect, water, NRG drinks, gels, mini sausage rolls, sausages, flapjack, brownies, crisps and of course because its easter, hot cross buns!:)
