Super cold this morning for a good couple of hours so took it easy early to leg the leg muscles warm up. Road with Bart from WP1 to maybe 10-15 km's before the poorly sign-posted WP2 when I gave it a little push up the hills. Then gave a good push from WP2 at about the 120 km mark to the finish at 173 km's solo and into the wind. Caught a group at about the 135-140km mark and tried to get them to join me, but no takers (they were all riding on the right edge of the road single file, despite a strong crosswind from the left so I lead nearer the.middle of the lane for a while but only one guy got it and then he dropped off for the others at a turn, so it was back to.being on my own again after a mere 500 meters or so...). Phone didn't charge last night so I didn't take many photos, plus it was quite overcast... One more day to go!
