Rob arrived 5:37, we missed the 5:49 at Mortdale. Train stopped at StPeters, in spite of timetable. Arrived around 6:30 took 40 minutes to get started due to huge crowd.
>> Next year - get there around 6am
Ride was very congested due to surge in riders. Over 12,000 reportedly.
Left around 7:10, arrived 10:15. Around 3hrs 5min riding time - a personal best. Avg speed = 29km.
Odometer not working whole trip.
Maintained good momentum on a lot of the hills and passed a lot of people on the uphill sections. Training leading up was about 3 times a week for 6 weeks.
Wore riding shorts with bib - couldn't stop for a pee
>> Next year - wear normal shorts
Used goo well. Had a light cereal breakfast then 1 goo after 1 hr, another after another hour. Had no cramps and despite feeling tired on hills at the end, had enough energy for full ride.
Train fare back was $9 each. Train didn't stop at Mortdale, had to get train back from Hurstville, wasted half an hour.
>> Next year - get train from Hurstville - park at supercentre.
Sat in spa for an hour when I got home - very good therapy!
