Rachel Heal crashed twice, and still went on to finish 5th in the same
time as second place.

A thing which sobered me a bit - Emma Jones, who was doing most of the
work in the lead group for most of the race, broke her back at about the
same time I broke mine. I've back on the bike for six weeks now, but
there's no way I could ride 100Km at race pace.

But you couldn't before you broke your back, whereas she could...

And she has a much bigger support team.

Only? A bunch of fit young women wearing Lycra and bending over their
handlebars seemed very watchable to me :-)~

True, but it's still impressive.

If I manage to stay awake, most certainly. This is no reflection on
the cyclists, but is entirely due to my fatigue following a day of
chauffeuring the offspring to & from Kent for a time trial...


Rudy Project?
Where did he come and what time?

I'll save me looking up CTT site where I expect it will be listed soon.

The result is now listed at:
