Well it was a fan-ruddy-tastic day…However, beasting it around stanmer on a rigid SS does beat you up and I’m aching like buggery now!!
Was, as always, a great course..
Typically I went out too hard to avoid the queuing and was bashing out 32 min laps for the first 2 or 3, then was sick in my mouth a few times, had gut ache, and slowed down!!
Managed to keep plodding on, keeping up an acceptable pace!
Had a funny pit stop after lap 5 where my front end was ‘tinging’ over the roots – I loosened and readjusted teh stem/headset about 3 times, then fixed the issue by simply tightening up the front skewer 😳
No crashes, no injuries, huge smiles!!
Was pleased with 9 laps (90km) in 5 1/2 hours – I always think if I was 5% faster, or didn’t stop to faff at the pit, then I could get a 10th lap in…but then you know what they say.. if my aunty had balls she’d be my uncle…!
Top work organisers!!
Bring on next year- that 10th lap shall be mine!!
