It was a float day for sure, If you had a boat
At the HQ the heavens opened and I really had to MAKE Paul get into his kit and ride as he really didn't want to ride in the rain.
Luckily it cleared stopped raining so he set off to the start line only to be soaked again.
Rob and I were off a little wile later and fortunately it was only spitting when we got on our ways.Quite windy too coming from the east and south meant that it was a slight head to crosswind on the way out but on the way back from the Red Lodge turn at 23 miles it was 54 11 heaven for quite some time.
Then turning left onto the last few miles of single road it was bang and into a vicious headwind where I had to get all over the bike to keep going it was a real slog, just managed to scrape under 2 hours, I had a target to just make it under 2 so in these conditions I was pretty happy with my ride
Crossed the line and almost caught Paul for 20 mins
Paul really coudn't get into it today and struggled getting his heart rate up.Rob RE came in a bit later with and wasn't quite firing on all cylinders either.
The main thing is we all started and all finished which was more than most, there were very few riders on the course mostly DNS, they all bottled it.
