22-Aug-10 ECCA 12HR (E2/12hr)

One of the problems of setting yourself standards that you can't hope to reach, let alone maintain, is that you always feel that you could (or should) have done better. Driving to the event in a violent storm and breaking his glasses 15 mins before his start time PW achieved the distance of 220.821 miles. It did not rain during the day although many wished that it had (because it got so hot), but the brisk SW wind made parts of the course very difficult to ride. The difficulties of riding into a strong headwind are not always offset by being blown back on the return.
