morning That was fun ! Great race , well marshaled (Thanks Road Rangers - 5 Star) Not too bad road surface . . . On the first real hill , I found myself in no- mans- land so I grabbed onto the first group passing. 5 or 6 of us) We steadily grew to 20 odd and stayed with this group till the end Thanx for the 2 tandems keeping the wind at "bay" 5 km from the end and our group relaxing along I realized that I would not make the sub 3 . . . and "forced "a "break away" on an uphill stretch (We were 3 or s ) Just as we sped off and getting a rhythm going a gust wind rained dust and sand in our way. I almost fell and with a mouth full of sand , I looked for shelter in the group again. So I , left my sprint a bit to late as I was talking all kinds of "kuk" with my new tandem baddies . . . and managed a 3:00:04 Any way , great race and belief this one will stay on the calendar in future and will only grow ! Will be back
