Steven Rooks Classic 2011 - the clue is in the name

When I entered this sportive classic held yesterday, no one told me that Steven Rooks was a Dutch ex TdF rider who had won a number of mountain stages. Had I known this I might not have been so surprised to ride the rather hilly Steven Rooks Classic in Holland/Belgium yesterday. I have never been up and down more climbs in the my life in one ride. Every gear used and every hill conquered.

So 119km done. Watch said 5:24, so including the breaks we took for re fuelling probably completed the test in around 4:55. Polar ride time said 4:46 but I was late at one stage to turn it on.

Great day, lovely weather and ready to do it again next year.
