• That was horrible: I wasn't expecting much, but I didn't even get that.

    Just scraped in under the half hour: first time I've been over Standard too.

    Pretty uncomfortable too: kept pushing back on the saddle and a lot of weight on my shoulders.

    I did forget to raise my saddle after fitting the shorter cranks and I'm 10mm lower at the front than last year, but it's hard to sort the wheat from the chaff until I've been riding more.

    The sun came out at the end though! :)
