Cool, calm weather greeted us for the start of the annual bush cycle ride. Everyone sat pretty comfortably for the first 30 odd km along the main road. The first hill brought action as the field split with 15 in the front group.
This group worked well, but we were caught just before Alfredton and so it was all back together again. The small hills began to break the peloton up again, and coming into the final climb the pace was on. I pushed hard over the top and drilled it down the other side managing to leave a group of 5. We worked well together for the final 10km, to finished about a minute in front of the main group.
I eased up too much going into the final corner losing the wheel in front, and had to chase... finished up 4th overall and 2nd junior. Overall I'm happy with that and now looking forward to the Kapiti Cycle Challenge next weekend. Thanks to Champion System for the awesome new Meo GP racing team kit, Ricoh, Armstrong Sport and Em's Power Cookies.
