Just looked at their website under 'Le Facts' Tailwind: yes, all the way round
I think this should have been under 'Le Lies'. |

It was enough for Eddie to come in thirty seconds before me...Computer thinks an additional six miles + thirty mins or so to my total time - may well have finished last because of it
Least I finished though  |

Ouch! In those conditions, you definitely didn't want to cycle any more than you had to

Indeed. Although it did alow me make an ad-hoc comparison between headwind (north -> south) and tailwind speed (south -> north) speeds:
with headwind: 11mph
with tailwind: 25mph |
