Well done everybody!
First road event for me, had a lot of fun. Lot of different dynamics than what I’m used to. Have a CX bike for the trainer in the winter, but ride MTB otherwise. I took a bus down from Whistler the night before and borrowed a friend’s road bike. Fit was a bit of an issue with hands going numb with 100km to go, but I probably would have given up on the CX bike. Got dropped off a group in Squamish when I thought more people were behind me, then worked my way back working with a really good paceline 20 minutes later.
Finished in 3:47 and think I crossed the start banner at 7:12 by my math. Really buried myself on the West Van highway trying to get up to the faster groups, but never made it to the front. I basically started at the very end of the 3:30+ corral. Did you guys start pretty close to the front?
