LMFAO, white jacket on? I did the same eyes transfixed...there was an outstandingly pretty girl at the tomintoul stop with hot pants lycra, she flew up the lecht hill past me, followed by a wave of me and other folk eyes transfixed and a sudden urge to go faster... or is that just me?woody wrote: I also followed advice on seloc & tucked in behind a tidy blonde pony tail after a few miles. Sadly my ability to go up hills was as poor as I'd feared & I was dropped when the going got steeper.
Had also been aiming for a 6:15-6:30 finish but foolishly drank a half bottle of dark matter the night before in the campsite so felt like crap. The whole closed roads thing was fantastic, never experienced anything like that the roadside support was awesome. I am not a natural roadie by any stretch
Good time Robin! I would like to do that feeling a bit better, my pals all finished around 6:10 and waited for me till the suie but i was just buggered, so theoretically i can go quicker...i managed a 6:50 which is OK i guess
Me on the left, in full MTB clobber.
