    Brilliant Julie, what a result! I can fully appreciate with us seeing your personality on camera that being around more people would have made it more fun for you. Those conditions looked rough! Thanks for sharing the content.

      @@creativechimp03 thanks. The conditions made it difficult to focus on lap two. That was an issue. I need a strategy for future events.

    Ace video Julie. I heard some reports.....but you video shows just how grim it was. Such a shame for the whole event..... I'm sure that in the sunshine that area would be absolutely ace to ride. Well done in your 2nd place 💪

      @@JuliePhelanExplore I couldn’t maintain my group’s pace so decided to just ride my own race. At that point my legs had blown and the weather turned. On the day, it wasn’t enjoyment but after I dried off and had some sleep, I looked back at it as fun. How about you?

      Well done Julie. I was so tempted to call it a day after the first lap, but there were no issues with me or the bike other than not feeling it. Pushed on got really wet, really cold, and really muddy. I also crashed towards the end. Silly mistake putting sunglasses into pocket as they were covered in mud. The front wheel just touched the grass off the tarmac, and down I went. It probably happened because I was cold and not concentrating enough. Nothing serious and nothing broken on the bike. Have you considered the Gralloch? We did it this year and have just booked for 2025. Fantastic route.

    Hey Julie, ur certainly one tough cookie! I bet they gave everyone else a 24 hour head start before they let you loose. Those guys you passed, were in next weeks race!😂 Bet u really went round 5 times as well!😂 It's nice that these events are run, and with some constructive feedback, in time they will hopefully improve and become more competitive. Rome wasn'tbuilt in a day!. Can't do anything about the weather in this country, just a typical summer's day!😅 Great post, as usual Julie, and so exceptionally edited!😉 Take care, the both of you!😊
