Blergh. Missed the start and was clearly not going to survive in the pack I was dropped into on joining, so gradually fell back to a smaller group that seemed an only slightly optimistic pace.
The loop for this ride meant doing a hillier section followed by a long flat bit 5 times. Got through the hilly bit 3 times, with my group threatening to blow apart each time, and me working much harder than seemed sustainable, but each tome at least some of the pack reformed over the top of the climb. I expected more of the same, but fell out of the draft of the group on the 4th lap, and despite matching my fastest KOM for the ride, I was dropped with no chance of getting back on.
Struggle street from there. Didn’t die as badly as the last 1-0 attempt, but it wasn’t pretty.
