58th out of 240 riders wasn’t bad over the 100 mile course. I rode it in 5hrs 30mins, but had been on for a close 5hrs 10 and was flying only to blow in the last 25miles. When will I learn to keep eating and pace myself early on. Still a fantastic event on a fantastic route organised by Hands On Events that organise among others the Bealach Na Ba challenge.

Photos of all the riders can be found at Action Heroes

The first games of the season. The day was a scorcher and the racing was fast and furious of the shoulder to shoulder kind. It was certainly a shock to legs that had been used to racing on smooth roads!
