How'd you get on? Good day for it, and no rain in the end. I bettered last years time by about 1:30 so I'm pretty happy.

Yes, how did you all get on ? What a wonderful morning : no rain and little wind.
I was marshaling @ Stumps X . The bit of the road that smelt.
It smelt because of the pig manure spilled there .

Totally fucked it up. I've only ridden the course once before, and that was two years ago, so when I arrived at the HQ and found there was a plan showing the course on the wall I studied it most diligently. It showed one RAB north of Newton (straight over), and then three RABs at the top of the course - go left at the first one, straight over the second, turn at the third. That's exactly what I did. Unfortunately it turns out there were a few more roundabouts not shown in the plan, so I turned before the turn, so to speak, and did a 20.8 mile TT. Hence a DNF.
It was a pity as despite a stinky head cold, I was actually going rather well, and did the 20.8 miles at a whisker under 40kph, despite sitting up at the end. I reckon I would've finished at about an hour if I'd ridden the whole course.
All in all, not a good weekend - I fucked up the TT, and @Cycliste crashed her BMC road bike on Saturday. Such is life.
