That was not the most enjoyable ride I've ever done. It was properly chucking it down throughout the duration of the ride! Luckily, it was dry up to the start so we didn't stand around soaking wet and cold.
The route was shortened to 86mi for safety concerns, meaning they chopped out the 2 hills that made the ride interesting. Although, I'm kind of glad as it was pretty ****** miserable. Saw lots of crashes, rode through water that was bottom bracket deep and almost came off on a bend when the guy in front of me slid off. Saved by my mad Jedi skillz.

Wasn't as quick as I was hoping, think I pushed too hard early on and struggled later to keep on the fast drafting trains. Almost cramped up in my quads and calves many times.
Couldn't see you at all near the Black A start Asprilla!
