Nice day to ride the Don, did my 75km in just under 2:40. Was great to be considered a VIP as I got a nice lunch after, salmon, chicken roast beef, and some pasta. Protein and carbs, yummy.
Best part was the roadie who had his crank fall of his $4000 bike 0:30 seconds in. I also observed that although I was getting smoked on the decents, on the flats and all the climbs I passed 90% of the riders. Seems the full kit/gear riders like to gear way down on the climbs. Weenies.
