Lookout hill handicap including ride there and back in the dodgy Vikings race bus led by Shadi.
B grade was pretty thin on the ground with just 5 of us and a 3 min gap to a much larger A grade, and were giving away 27 and 19 minutes to stacked E and D grades. I'd picked up some mud on my left cleat, so couldn't clip in for the first 5 km, eventually managed to flick it out and stamp down hard to lock in, but it was a bit of a tricky start. The bunch was rolling well, but at the first turn we saw A grade was not far back so sat up a bit then hopped on the back. I was 2nd last at the next turn and got gapped, so had a hard chase to get back on. Then we hit a hill which splintered the back of the bunch a bit. I rode on to see if I'd pick anyone else up on the next hill and to make it a bit of a hit out for the day, but other than a few back markers from the lower grades didn't catch anyone.
Then had a dodgy ride back through tuggo followed by late lunch at sfoglia
