If anyone is interested, will be riding this tomorrow to avoid the rain and heavy wind.
55k London Loop and Surry hills, completing the ride gets you a chance of winning entry to the real event later this year (when the weather has hopefully improved!)
3 CCA riders that I saw... Paul H, Steve F and Myself. Out of 160 riders we somehow managed to find ourselves in a mini Blue train at around 10k in. Steve then slowly disappeared into the distance leaving Paul and myself to plough on. Half way in and i manage to slip away and make some time up on Box hill reverse. To my disappointment, with 10k to go I realised we had another Box hill ascent before the finish. I manage to get Steve within 30 secs, then 20 as we crest the top. The final run to the finish I'm whacked and can't close the 10 sec gap to Steve...
