Colin McPhee Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Put my wheel on the start line but hadn't realised it was Regional B when entering so realised it may be a tough day. Right from the off it was eyeballs out and was sprinting to keep up ! Managed to recover from the initial burst and was sprinting out of the roundabouts at either end of the course and trying to avoid the headwind on the South Bound section although the bunch was stringing out so it was very difficult. Then calamity struck on lap 3 when I switched to small chainring for the drag up and it unshipped leaving me the impossible task of catching a very attacking bunch which were after the break of 6 or 7 strong riders who had gone up the road. Was caught by another rider who had also been shelled out at this stage and worked for a few laps but then sense got the better of me and decided to save the legs for another day.
