Finished my first 200 of the season, 8 hours of heavy rain in cool 6-8C weather made for a pretty miserable day. Fairly hilly with 1733m in the 210km. Worse too was that it was a local loop and I was rarely more than 35km from home... Took most of my willpower to finish the route. Rode with the only other rider that signed up. Was just warm enough to avoid hypothermia, except my feet were cold most of the day. Had 2 hours of dry weather and a wee bit of sunshine, only to get soaked an hour from the finish. Finished just under 12 hours due to trying and failing to warm up at controls.
