  • Onion was a good ride apart from the terrible weather... my bike looked like it had been in a cyclocross race by the end. Managed a ride time of 4h11 with an official time of 4h29. Good course and some really challenging climbing. They could have put marshals on the whitedown decent like last week on the surrey rumble. It was a bit scary in the rain and mist with cars blasting towards you and less effective brakes.

    How was the new bike Dan?

    The White Down was so much harder this week after 90k than it was last week on the hilly 50... I was swearing internally the whole way up but was reeling past loads of folk. Developed a new climbing technique of putting my hat visor down so I can only see about 10ft in front of me and just pumping away till the summit. Not graceful, but effective.

    Generally I was ok apart froma couple of periods where the leggied turned to lead, was a bit annoying passing groups on the hills then having them chainganging past me 5 mins later-made it seem like much harder work ;(

    Definitely feeling better after a bath an a remedial beverage though...
