ahr:148 max:162
Broke a spoke at the start. Slow out of the gate and around the corner, then really gave it some gas and sprinted. Just got on the back of the lead group at the Polly Pipe entrance, but not before some geezer crashed on my right and slid across the road in front of me to hit the railings on the left. Settled down after that but had people yell at me a couple of times - realised my back wheel was buckled about halfway so just went to the back of the group and stayed there in case it completely went. Avoided the customary bottles and bike lights that fell on the road in front of me a couple of times. Felt good enough to wind it up for the sprint, but didn't bother because of the back wheel. Ric Howe was in this group too. Bike was unrideable after, so took the train back.
Speed 42.9 for 28.85km.
