The problem with Afan was the time of year & the freshly cut track for stage 4 & the middle bit of stage 5.
It’s the only time i’ve ever ridden and worn 2 jackets I was so cold.
It was a tough day out that one. The tracks weren’t hard, but some of them were hard to ride fast. I struggled on the 7 minute pedal fest of stage 3 which finished on the final descent of the wall, because it was a redline effort all the way there, then a flat out descent at race pace that had the potential to be rocks covered in lots of ice (as some of the other stages were).
Nothing too tech though. Eastridge was probably the most tech of the season for me, but only on a couple of the stages.
