I was in an early (6.10am) pen and consequently had to set the alarm at 3.00am for a pick-up some 30 minutes later. Despite very little sleep, I was happy with my time of 4 hours 37 mins. Highlight of the day was a rider losing his line on a long straight descent and making contact with me. Luckily we both hung on! Otherwise the quality of riding was pretty good. The route, marshals and support from the spectators was fantastic.
