July 6, 2024,Cyclosportive Les Copains - 90km

I am not officially classified because I had registered for the 67km at the base, which is not classified. Plus we leave last (5 minutes to cross the starting line 🙄). But we are still timed, so I compared to the ranking times:

120th/228
10th F/22
6th F1/9
