Ryder 8K - Hot, windy, slow, bad start...

Hot, windy, slow... average times about 30-40 seconds off.

I had a bad start, the initial push off the line managed to shift the rear wheel (didn't clamp it tight enough) so that it was rubbing. So there I was 10m from the starting line off my bike adjusting the rear wheel and tightening it... lost at least 30 seconds. Did manage to get going before the next rider :-(

Then managed to fall off the bike avoiding a (the) spectator at the finish line.

Official time was 12:26. Unofficially (from computer data) about 11:57 ...

Most of the faster riders who have previous times where about 30-40 seconds slower as well (Tolkamp 32, Perkins 40, Squire 50). So my unofficial time would have been commensurate with that. And would have put me about 10 seconds faster than next cat 4 finisher (Blair Scott 12:03). Even at 12:26 I was second and faster than next cat 4 by 16 seconds (Wallace 12:42).
