Circuit of Kent sportive today..
It was good. Weather was fucking ace!
I was running late so I started basically last except for a guy fixing a puncture.
Passed everyone I saw except for 3 guys from De Ver Cycles who I lost when I started cramping.
I think I almost got a gold time (Sam later confirmed 3min off it - doh!).
Almost caught Sam on the last hill but I was cramping up like a mofo :)
Loads of marshalls, food and jazz band at the end, moto outriders, very well done.
Fastest time was apparently 3:03 WTF?! but that's an AVERAGE speed of 42kph. Timing error?
I came in 43rd out of 149 and I bet most of the fuckers in front of me were riding in nice little bunches whereas my time was a all solo baby! Those cheating bastards! ;)
Anyone interested in the Tour of Dartmoor?
