I took the option of the 7:30 start yesterday, which was a good choice as it meant I hit the controls ahead of the masses (this must be how it is for fast riders!).
I was back by 17:15, I was hoping for for an hour quicker but I found it really hard going in that heat for the final 5ok and it became a bit of a slog. The 12 miles home was hell as I was utterly ruined.
Such a well catered and friendly event with lots of TLC. Probably my last one for a while (done the last 3) as I want to ride new things next year.
Can't imagine how anyone new to Audax can fail to be converted after DD.
Think I spotted you.....you were wearing a Hackney Audax Club top coming back through Cobham? You did look like you were suffering a bit! I waved in a bright yellow helmet
