I looked at that Peter. It's the same day as the Royal Albert TT in Cambusbarron I'm afraid. I will be doing that. _________________ You are not the only one suffering! |

With 25-30mph winds gusting up to 50+mph, torrential rain and flooded roads this was an attritional ride to say the least.
It really was one of those "why am I doing this" days (if it hadn't been for the �35 entry fee...).
Good route on any other day, but yesterday's climbs into a howling headwind were soul destroying, and the descents were butt-clenchingly scary in places due to the side gusts and flooding.
On the upside the facilities and catering were great - loads of good food at the food stops and also afterwards (soup, macaroni cheese, chilli and rice).
At the end of the day I placed 64th overall and 7th in the over 50's category, so quite happy with that. If I hadn't stopped for a sandwich at the 70k feed-station it could have been a top 30 finish looking at the times...more grub in the pockets next time...
