  • 3 down done.
    First 300km it was good the head wind from 150k to 300km was character building.
    Learnt so much.
    Definitely need to gear down.
    Oats and Coast is next then Severn across!

  • Yeah, after waiting for everyone to leave so I could park the car in the other carpark and walk back to the HQ, I managed to get lost (screw you Garmin and screw you brain for taking so long to notice the mistake) on the 3Down so added about 34k to my ride before I even made the first checkpoint! I guess that helped shape my 'mood' so I then went about hammering the rest of the way trying to make up the time. I came in around 7th which isn't bad considering I'd given everyone except Marin a 2hr head start. "It's not a race... unless it is a race". Good training and an April audax so 3/12 for RRtY if I carry on.

  • "It's not a race... unless it is a race"

    Sportives: Pretending you're racing
    Audax: Pretending you're not

  • Excellent work there!
    I got back to the base at 9
    Then headwinds on the return leg was character building.
    I am doing oats and Coast this month. I wi cycling to and from the start. Making it a 360km not 300km. If all goes to plan I will do the Severn across

  • I finished within the time limit which isn't bad considering I'd given everyone except Marin a 2hr head start.

    Fixed
