Ah the silly things I do in school holidays.
This ‘race’ split into small packs almost immediately, but I was with a group ticking along at a comfortable effort. Things got a bit strung out on the climbs but came back together quite well.
On the climbs early on the second lap I was feeling good and figured I was past halfway so didn’t worry about riding solo off the front of the group, which had dwindled to 5. Stayed off the front and alone to the next climb at about 75km, where I caught 2 people and was rejoined by 2 from my former group. Between 80 and 85km things started to get hard. Ran out of water, really wished I had some food or a gel and my legs gave up pretty quickly. Struggle street from there on, with my mini-pack leaving me behind up the next incline. Slow solo 20km to the end.
