Last minute decision to race, hence the slow start. Was thinking that the race was on after 7. Had just gotten back from supermarket and put Rouvy on to make sure the route was downloaded. Concentrated rushing about to get started. Was still pulling on the straps of my bib shorts as everyone started. Eventually caught up with Alex and we worked together for about 6.5km . Passed a lot of riders. No one could stick with us. Force of habit to start a sprint at the end, but I stopped quickly with the goal of crossing together. Coasting was a little too fast.
Good GRC teamwork. We were on the voice chat with Gilles, Alex, Ric, and Penelope. Before the start I also invited Ragnar to the GRC train. We pushed 3.5 wkg pace on hills, otherwise just enjoyed the scenery. Good team work overall.
We will be doing the September 29th SSR on this route again. Real watts bomb saved for that one.

Watching the video now I can concentrate on the actual race. I can't see the live chat this time.

As always. Awesome race again! Thank you for organising. For bigger riders this was great as I could stay with the group thanks for draft!
