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.
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
