I didn't mind being left behind. I went into this fully aware I was in no way prepared and would do well to make it to Rye. I even had a list of possible exits along the way and a Bluetooth speaker loaded up with the finest 90s jpop for company! Everyone waited up at the tops of the climbs where I'd dropped back so we largely stayed together.
With a more sensible ratio and warmer legs I'd like to think I'd have made the distance, just about. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
