I wasn't expecting to be racing as I'm oncall this weekend, but someone covered me in the 11th hour, so it was a last minute rush to get everything prepped, then a 5:30am start to get down to Box Hill for an 8am kick off. I've never come so close to a DNF. Was 100% ready to quit coming up the hill at the end of the 1st bike lap, but couldn't bring myself to when I saw the cheering spectators at the finish area. Bloody do-gooders Somehow managed to get myself around and up that bloody hill 5 times to finish 30min slower than last time I did it in '05. In pieces now. Weather was perfect though, and the view wasn't too bad: [IMAGE]

Hohum Nov 2012 5:05pm, 12 Nov 2012 2,257 posts	Quote Pin Hohum quite a cracker, route recce for the stiperstones time trial in a few weeks, once I'd done the bit I was reccing I cut off and did a sort of wandering route back. Not many people about, a school trip doing geology?, and shepherds moving a flock of sheep into a valley. I love it up there (Long Mynd)
