PTW

The Squadra Chrono returned a little battered and bruised after todays event and to give you some idea of what it was like, having taken 30 minutes to get to the turn (15 miles or so) it took me a further 30 minutes to do the remaining 9. (ouch!)

Coming back up the valley as I re entered the dual carriageway I was met with a wall of rushing air that had me standing on the 55 X 21 going down the ramp of the Aberdulais Roundabout. It was so hard I started laughing ....... On the approach to Resolven Roundabout i was in tears, Real tears as my legs buckled under the strain.... Why wasn't this a club ten so I could turn off.

I have never experienced so much pain as passing the ponds on the way to Mcdonalds roundabout...... (ok that is an exaggeration.... it wasn't quite as bad a trying to follow Spot up the same stretch of road in the 2 up earlier this year) ....... All I could think of was........... Its only 1.5 miles how can it be taking so long?

For anyone who started Chapeaux, for anyone that finished you deserve a medal.

To put things into perspective Michael Hutchinson ONLY! managed a 48:15 which is a full 1:15 slower than what he did two weeks ago, and believe me if he is 1:15 slower its "bonkers hard"
Next Week the Welsh champs 25 at Llandovery

Really hard day. Brings you down to earth with a bump.looking at the power reading for my ride, I actually produced a more powerful ride than I did at the acme. My time to the turn was over 1 min faster than at the acme, but the return leg was over 3 mins slower despite averaging over 10 watts more for the final 10 miles. I think I need to work on my position, LOL
