that was the hardest 50km event i’ve done. ACE!.
i thought the water station was a cruel joke, well it made me laugh a lot – a tiny brown plastic cup held out by a marshall. thats the only criticism i have.
steep up and steep down, practically no road work and the course held up well considering the appalling weather we had up here leading up to it.
36 miles is a fair bit longer than 50km, but is probably about right – managed to ride all of it, apart from 15m sliding on my right hip and elbow after hitting an icy patch on a bend, just prior to the last fireroad climb.
singlespeeders are plain mad.
