Out to Snowdonia, for what should have been a huge 200km with 3000m of climbing sportive. Mass failure. The rain was bad, but the wind was beyond anything I've experienced before. According to the met office it was 33mph with gusts upto 50mph. I felt everybit of that, while trying to claw my way over the Ranges. Had to settle for the Medio (shorter) route, which was still good. (although technically I cheated as I went the wrong side of the lake back to Bala - on bad advice, which made my route a few km shorter). It's a sportive I'll be back to complete next year - if the weather improves!!!140km - 145/171bpm - 20.3/19.4kph - 2225m - 4950kcal
