Another great ride this year and I think the other riders around me were better behaved which made the ride more enjoyable. I was not trying to race this year as I my achilles is still not good and basically felt quite guilty for even doing the ride. It took about 3.5 hours this year with lots of stops and the compulsory sausage sandwich which I had promised myself I would not eat.
This year the course was a bit safer with some changes around Olympic Park and the start which I couldn't begin to explain as the course winds around a lot and I really didn't know where I was sometimes. The start at St Leonards Park, North Sydney was packed with riders and from there it is almost straight down the hill onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge. For a map of the course click here.
