Godiva cyclosportive
Event Details: 62mile loop
Event Site: http://www.kilotogo.com/godiva.htm
Team: Mark, Phil, Jon, Tim
Time: ~3:40
Setting off from Southam I can honestly say I didn’t feel prepared. A week off and a few days in Amsterdam had left me feeling relaxed but not exactly fit.
I found myself breaking away from the team quite frequently but decided fall back to ride as a group. I found this quite difficult as the varied rhythm began to tire my legs. There were a couple of times where we got the team together and rode as a pack, this felt good and we soon caught people, shame the hills broke us up.
I hope that by Xmas we can start to ride at a constant pace as a team, else I think I’m going to find it difficult doing 100+ miles at varied pace.
The route was on good roads and was superbly organised. There was a food station and the safety bike/car regularly circled the route.

Trek Madone 5.0 (2007) - I love this bike, some would say too much with the amount of time I spend maintaining it! But if I'm going to be going 50mph down a mountain I want to know its in good shape.
