April 11th Rides

We did 45 kms today and it was great! Sunny weather, nice scenery and a good average speed...

The 11th - I raced that day. And am still enjoying thinking about it. Because I was helping another rider (visitor) and trying to tow her back I ended up over 3 minutes behind the leaders. The visitor turned off and waited for the next grade to pick her up and I was in chase mode. When I had shut down the gap to 2 minutes, the leaders realised I was there, and knowing I had sacrificed my time to help another, sat up while I closed the remaining minute. We worked well rotating into head winds, and the last 1.5km was pretty much full bung, strectched out and I had my tongue hanging out when I crossed the line in 3rd (must've looked real purty )

A really good ride, a solid workout and over 43kms for the day.
