| Pretty nice day for a nice ride to the nice little town of Akaroa. There's was a nice little warmup down Colombo St, before hitting the first, and nastiest climb for the day. Wasn't feeling too good up there, but fortunately there was a couple of other dudes a bit fresher, so I was able to get dragged back to a bit of a bunch along the summit road.
Then we hammered along the flat in pretty good time, catching one bunch in front of us, and felt pretty tired by little river.
The long grind up to hilltop was unreasonably hard, and then it was just trying to survive the continual climb-descend pattern along the summit road. Finally, when you're completely poked, there is the most crazy hill descent to the finish of any race around. 700 vertical metres of hoping you don't crash as you hang on around these nasty sharp corners. I was just glad I was nowhere near Greig and Joe as they raced each other down there... |
