@heavyphil I started training for this event with my team on the first week in March, while there was still snow on the ground. I was in tough shape due to the meds and radiation such that I consistently finished the exercises in last place but my teammates were supportive, It took me five hours to complete a four hour ride and they waited for me to finish. Wonderful folks.
I was committed to riding this event, even if it meant finishing last, which was a real possibility. However, just one week prior to it, I suddenly regained my strength. I couldn’t believe it so, to confirm that I was back, I climbed Devil’s Delight - one ugly hill - and I made good time.
I did better than expected in the event.
