"Five Peaks" pedal power ride (not a race). Started with ~100 at Stromlo on the "Short" version. Stuck behind about 40 people on the bike track from the start. Got past most and a group of 4 came through, so stuck with them up Stromlo. Near the top a "Bahrain-Merida" came past and I went with him, reaching the top in 2nd and 3rd.
Downhill (saw GM) and the B-M guy was skittish on corners (apparently last year he hit a kangaroo coming down Mt Ainslie), so went past. Got a fair gap but he reeled me in as we went up the side of Narrabundah Hill. Rode together and we caught the leader stopped at the lights on Cotter Road. I jumped on his wheel, but B-M didn't.
Towed to the bottom of Red Hill where "MAAP'" surged away. No check on Red Hill (they were delayed).
Caught MAAP on Russell Av but he got away again as soon as we started Mt Pleasant. That gap had grown to ~10 minutes on Mt Ainslie and I had a similar gap to B-M.
Missed the arrows in Civic, but found my own way through ANU. Similar gaps on Black Mountain and Arboretum, the latter seeming a gratuitous addition.
Struggled on the unclassified climbs to Cook and back across to Stromlo.
