You must have done it all wrong. First century and you are supposed to run out of water- Not taken enough food and although the legs may have got you up the 3 mile at an average of 12% that you were forced to ride due to the planned route being closed- the butt should have been screaming by the 30 mile mark and you finish the ride standing up. Then on top of that- Only one flat as your mechanical. This is when you would have have found out that although you have presta valves fitted to your presta rims- the replacement tibe was a schraeder fitting so you would have had to repair the puncture- only to find out that the glue has gone solid.

Too much preparation.



Well done.
