Remarks:Group "B+" reliability ride; No stops; very strong wind; cold; partly hailstorm; Temperature*: 4.8-6.4 ^oC

Windy to extreme, very tiring work when cycling into it. No stopping, very happy not to have been dropped (almost was once then regained pace again). Some sections out of wind where we were cruising at 27mph no problems. The bitter wind. On the B+: there were 4 groups: race, B+, B, and C. All groups going one after the others with the "race" group going first and everyone covering the same route. This allowed the people dropped off the back to join the following slower group. Next week is the 75mile ride, with a half-way stop.
