Ely & District Hardriders 25-mile time trial

Location: Little Downham, United Kingdom

Conditions were pretty miserable for the 50-odd starters in this traditionally tough event. We had large puddles to negotiate in the first few miles, a tough cross-wind up the A10, an even tougher headwind along the A1101, and a horrifically bumpy road surface on the "Hundred Foot Bank". There's a race report on the CTT website. Steve Wells was also on the course, some photos.

I started off strongly, as I was nicely warmed up after arriving late (by bike – 35km) and almost missing the start, but faded in the second half as my energy ran low. I'd like to add a big "thank you" to the fellow riders who helped me with my number and wheel swap, without whom I'd have missed my start for certain. Here's what the time trial looked like on Strava:
