Once again, the team at Il Treno Dolore (The Pain Train) put on a top notch event, with excellent support from some generous sponsors, and even the weather played its part this year.I rolled up just after 10am to sign in and get my kit ready. The bike was ready, having been shod with my trusty second hand CX tyres and flipping the rear wheel onto the freewheel side earlier in the week. True to form, I hadn't changed a thing from last year. Still running too high a gear at 39:18, and I still hadn't trained.
