Many thanks to Morley Dore for taking pictures during the event.
It wasn't cold enough (10-11°C) or windy enough (gusting to 40-50km/h) to scare away seven riders and an equal number of others who either volunteered or watched. The chilly southerly gusts of wind were tricky, but thankfully the cold showers only started after the event! To get some idea of the event difficulty, we can look at how unimpressive the cube speed ratios are for riders between tonight and their database-best speed (on average .5313), or a little less severely, relative to their best WTT speed last year (on average .6619). We probably only did as well a we did because of the optimally low air pressure of 99.8kPa! Yet the two of us who also rode this years high-pressure (103.2kPa) low-wind (0-10km/h) Good Friday Time Trial were slower today - the fact that I was "close" was only a byproduct of stripping the flowers and bunnies off of my bike and helmet!
