Rode my first Cyclosportive in Burgess Hill. 93 miles, the course was pretty mean, some very testing short steep ascents right to the last 10 miles. Still did okay.. 5:37, average of 16.6mph on a steel 1993 Concorde Squadra. Helped that I had a 67 year old guy on my back wheel for the last 30 miles. He thanked me for the tow, I thanked him for giving me the motivation that I wasn't going to let someone twice my age beat me!
