There was about 45/50 cyclists in the event, we had a 50 km/h head wind for the first 4 km, the wind made for a rough start to the race. I feel I should be able to do the 17 km in 40 minutes but today it took 44 minutes.
I finished cutting the grass after lunch and spend some time cutting the grass by hand some trees I had planted.
