A muddy one this year. The Wellington summer buggered off a few weeks ago and it's been raining off and on ever since...making for a pretty messy course. Times reflected the conditions with this year's winning time being about 2hrs 28min.....which is about 10-15 minutes off a dry track pace.
This pic is just before the finish...my bike's looking clean cause it's just been dragged through the last river crossing...
