Wes and I had rolled around town for a warm-up and only just got to the start with about 15 seconds to spare.
Things were easy-as as we rolled out of town – a little bit surge-y in places, but all good.
Reflecting back on this I didn’t have enough water, but had enough fruitcake.
We turned at Ovens and headed up to Rosewhite. A breakaway had formed and stayed away for about 20km but we caught them through the rolling approach to the climb proper.
A guy went off the front to bridge which was foolish in my opinion; he ought to have waited till we caught the escapees.
