It was abit of a suffer fest. I was signed up for the big one and downgraded to the 135km route (so glad I did).
It rained for most of the ride apart from the last hour or so. The cobbles were pretty brutal, as I was struggling to find grip. The big cobbles climbs were nearly impossible to get up as it was so slippery, and far too many ppl going up.
Another mate did the big one. They left at 7am and rode the 100km of flat from Brugge - Oudenaarde and got absolutely soaked. He ended up in the medical tent with mild hyperthermia.
