Cheltenham hill climb - 6th

My first time here, sadly a very wet day 🤦 Strongly resembled 2019 marathon champs due to similar terrain and me being poorly equipped for bad weather. Jacket that isn't waterproof anymore and has holes in it wasn't the best choice. Also can confirm old socks with a cleat hole cut in the bottom aren't a good alternative to overshoes. Unlike 2019 marathon champs, it didn't rain all day and was a lot warmer so I did dry out in between torrential downpours. Rear ass saver repurposed as a front mudguard saved the ride though I reckon. 
What's more tragic than having to walk a descent due to lack of confidence/skill? Leaning your bike for a photo of the descent, dropping the bike and bending a brake lever 🤦🤦🤦 Luckily bent it back and got round. Quality ride despite bad conditions.
