Notes
Rode with the bunch until just past Glengarry when they stopped to change someone's tyre. I felt pretty good for another 5 or so kms and then really struggled (again) once we'd gone through Toongabbie. The other small group we were with well and truly dropped me at this point. I can't say I really enjoyed much of the rest of the ride until the hill outside Toongabbie on the way back. My second wind lasted maybe 15kms and I (effectively) limped home. Am not very happy with myself at all but don't think there's anything I could've done different. Good night's sleep, porridge for breakfast and enough fuel on the ride. Maybe if the guy hadn't had a flat, I could've ridden better in the pack but who knows?? Maybe next fortnight I can give it another crack (if I'm game enough lol).
