Recommended Posts

Looking at last years results, the times looks longer than than Argus times and it was 106km.

A mid pack group G rider finished in 3h40.

 

The wind was hectic last year.

Started in A-C. There were times when we did 17km/h on a straight road into the wind.

The route is not the same as last year

 

What's different about the course compared to the 2013 edition?

Thanks, had a suspicion that the wind must have been hectic given the times.
