The sprinkling of rain must have deterred a few riders this morning as numbers were well down on last weeks hit out. When Farm Boy made his appearance at the start in full kit and on the Norco, my heart sank and my legs hurt - I felt the pace go up by about 10k/hr - and I was standing still. He didn't disappoint.
The paceline was a little messier than usual, Lord Garmin was lacking sleep, Whiffo pulled a flattie and Farm Boy had a bad case of surgy-itis (comes from having fresh legs). Still, reports from the Garmin Lord are that the paceline was 39.5k/hr average. Not bad.
The Cockatoo section hurt everyone that remained, especially when Johann kicked out of the Penda Avenue roundabout. Matty was left in no-mans land (again), IJ dropped the hammer to bridge the gap and I hung on for dear life on the back of IJ's wheel.
Cat had her good wheels and legs on this morning and remained glued to the back of the hitters all morning. An impressive display Cat.... here comes C grade.....
Um IJ, why were you sneaking up One Tree Hill after the ride.....???? I nearly collapsed just watching!!
