It was looking like a good day from when we rolled out at 9.00ish a bit cool but we soon warmed up once we hit the climbs proper after rolling through the foothills for about 20mins.
The weapon of choice for the day was El Salt and Ergon BD2 backpack, so I was immediately giving Jase about a 6kg advantage for a day that involved hauling our arses up a couple of big hills. The first climb is approximately 1hr and the second about 0.5hr.
Up the first climb despite complaining earlier that he hadn't been training all week I couldn't drop him by more than 40 seconds at the top. The second portion and we were definitly level pegged. Towards the Two Sticks intersection, I wasn't getting anymore love from the legs, not enough long rides recently and 3hrs in the legs at this point was beginning to show.
At the top we were intending to ride up another hill for about 1/2 and hour but it was signposted as shut due to re-sealing. So it ended up being a flat cruise across the top before bombing down Two Sticks for about half an hour. I was intending to ride home from here but I was feeling a bit secondhand at this point so grabbed a lift homw with Jase.
So all up for the day 5hrs and 100k's
