Mother of god! My boss decides at about 5pm to annoy me into to going to the club bunch training ride(APR style).
I drove home, ate one mule bar, stuck a bottle on and headed out. Got put in group 3 with group 4 being the scratch group.
I zig zagged home seeing stars
a guy in group two said they averaged 22.5mph so we must have been sitting higher to close the 3 and a half minute gap.
Was gutted when a guy double punctured coming a descent which slowed me right up at the bottom of a hill in the big ring, essentially I got ****** right out the back and never caught back on but only had a mile to the finish thankfully.
Spinning a 52/12 and being less than 10 metres off the back of the bunch is heart breaking. Eventually did get back in the bunch and managed to hide and recover only get stuck behind the punctured guy as I said.
My full pedal in and out
