Bello...facile cosí...

Great stuff! (Witty title too.) You were so often using the gutter to overtake riders on the crown of the pave. Did your tyres puncture and re-seal, or just not puncture at all? You were riding at confident pace through all sorts of hazards - all that hard London commuter cycling really coming good.

[@Millerbike01]

Thanks. I don't think the tyres punctured at all, no sign of sealant. I've used that particular pair of tyres in a few gravel events and I'm pretty confident in them - Schwalbe G-One RS. As for the commuting, I think the Brompton would complain on this course.

wasn't that motorbike frustrating in Arenberg?

[@Millerbike01]

Yes, it was. If I'd had a few cobble sectors already under my wheels I'd have been more confident of passing it but at that point I was being cautious.
