It’s one way to spend a Sunday. About 1,700 other cyclists thought so too. The weather was fine, the afternoon was pretty warm (especially by this summer’s standard.) And yes, I made it …
Total time between start and finish was 11:40. Not much of that was spent in the rest stops, a chunk of it was spent by the side of the road wrestling with a chain that had run off the rails and was jammed between the chain ring and the frame. Neither subtlety or brute force would shift it. Eventually a fit of temper, loud swearing and extreme force extricated it and I was able to continue.
Early to bed.
