I've had a number of fun weekend rides and have failed to report them here.
So, let me report
this.
Official time 50:15.6. Hot, windy, fierce competition (they combined the W3&4). I finished 7th, and actually came in ahead a of a couple 3s; always a plus to the ego.
We've done this as a tandem team for 3 years; missed the last two yrs.; this was my first solo effort. Very pleased and totally spent.
