Almost arrived on time to start with the club's first season opening ride. Struck out on my own, but it was only a 42km ride scheduled, so I didn't mind. Super baking hot weather; beautiful. We start at Angus Glen now, and the plan was a simple out and back on Warden to Davis. Having only ever gotten onto Warden at Bloomington, I was not aware that Warden has a massive fucking hill just south of Bloomington. 50m. Oy. After that, smooth sailing, and a heckuva joyride on the way back down.
Spent probably not more than 20% of the time in my bars. Finally got comfy and relaxed with a few kms left. Made good time, though. Under 90mins for the 40. I lost about 3:30 on traffic stops. So probably closer to 1:25 for an oly.
Food: nothing!
Water: just the profile design front bottle - ran out after 30kms. Bumped into NN on the road and asked her about her great water set-up from last year: Speedfil, available at Wheels of Bloor - getting it!
-- Distance: 42.6km
-- Duration: 1:35:55 (minus 3:30 = 1:32:25)
