random spd user made it up the 1st climb, past all the pushers in flats 😆
telling people you are coming thru helps, if they can hear you over the sound of the blood pumping past their ears

I was toing and froing with a geezer who was easily 20 years older than me, and I'm 48... He was still riding into town as we were driving away so he must've done the 70km, good riding old fella!

I was there for the first time doing the 55/60km - really enjoyed it, first climb was a monster though! Looking forward to the pics

Did the 55k and really enjoyed it, was going well until thigh cramp got me round by Cilcain, but still finished and had a good time.
