I'm still thinking about taking my bike to Ian, he comes highly recommended so I'm sure I'll get over there one of these days, it's just a matter of finding a large block of free time!

Too quick for the conditions, perhaps. Right hand turn into street on a downhill section and the wheels came out from under me. No big deal. Graze on my elbow and imminent bruising. Same with the hip. I forgot how much the hip stings. CX bike is fine, with cosmetic damage to the rear mech, pedal and bar tape. Was doing around 30kmh. Not sure if the Hutchinson Intensive tubeless were a contributing factor. The centre compound seems a bit slippy in the wet.
At least one more wet commute this week. Will be taking it a lot easier through the corners.

Bring on the Schwalbe tubeless. Hopefully they will be a bit better. Another wet commute today. Corners will be 30% slower. Hip, elbow and neck a bit tender today.

I felt I wasnt far from peak form, but havent had long road kms in a while. I really enjoyed it but really dug deep. Deeper than I thought I would. Lower back is settling down nicely, but I am absolutely hammered to the core. I want a race with bigger hills.

If you look at the time rather than my placing the result wasn't too bad. Finished a bit over 2 mins behind winner of B grade, just over a minute behind rider in front of me, managed to hold off C grade and rode a faster time than C grade winner by about 5 mins and even got slightly faster time than a couple of A graders. And got 4th in a sprint prime, might of got 3rd if I'd had clear road. Not too bad considering I spent probably half the race riding by myself in the wind.
