Hi all, THE Dave here
Thanks @sluiperfor the sportsmanship and kindness!
The borrowed bike got me accross the line 😁 and was returned after I recovered later in the evening
What a beautiful ride it was! My first time riding a road bike and first time cycling further than 15km
I thought the carbon fibre would help make up for my lack of any training but in the end it was all thanks to @sluiper and his pit crew as well as some digging deep on the hills.
Waiting to hear the cost I incurred with the derailleur 😅
