We all finished the ride on Sunday after a gruelling 119 km and 5000 feet of hills, and we all crossed the finish line together making a bold statement with our kit on. We had great support during the ride from crowds of people who came out in force to support the cyclists.
By the time we got to the finish line the crowds were enormous and they were all cheering and shouting giving us an extra push. The pro cyclists would still be a couple of hours after us. After going to collect our medals and stand on the podium, I did a post ride interview with the media team before heading off to get cleaned up.
