29\04\17 - Cambridge CC Open 10 (F2d/10)

Still chasing a sub 24min time and things were looking hopeful for me.  The wind was east to west so I would be blown back up the hill, it was a relatively warm afternoon and the sun was shining.  No chance of rain.  I made the mistake of overhearing one of the earlier riders chatting to his mates and saying that the return was the more difficult bit.  Moral of the story - ignore what others say.
With his words in mind however, I completed the first half of the event at an average of 24.3mph and was dreading the return.  However when I did turn, I took off.  Got back at an average of just over 25mph.  Mission accomplished - 23:59.  It's only one second, but it's made a lifetime of a difference for me.  78/113.  PW.  (MervP 28:22).
