First go at the CX today, dug out my 10 year old kit, last worn about 2 stone ago and decided my tactic would be start at the back and try my hardest to stay there.
A bit apprehensive I stayed near the rear of the race to begin with, and soon found myself pegging back some places.
Just as i thought it was all going well, the race got fairly strung out, with the fast group miles ahead, there were no more targets.
Around the 40 min mark Cedric came flying past to lap me with apparently no effort.
The dismount needs a bit of work, coming to a stop to get back on, apparently isnt the mist time efficient. 
Got to the finish with no crashes and not in last place, a resounding success!
Well done to Cedric who i believe won by a country mile on a warm sunny day.

Last day off for me, proposing a run along the clyde to Helensburgh and then up the fruin. 
Re-group at the top ( waiting for me), into Balloch via arden roundabout and duck bay. Cafe in Balloch, home the usual route. 
 
Options to extend down some coast, once back on the south side of the Erskine bridge for those festive mentalist. 
930 clubrooms. 10 at the bridge. 

Forecast is for dry but cold, so I'm thinking Georgetown, Erskine, Bishopton, Old Greenock Road, down the Clune, back up the Whin, Torr Road to BoW. Everyone welcome, Jets too.

Looking at the forecast, turbo might be the plan, will keep an eye on it

1. Get on the mountain bike more
2. More touring
3. Sub 17 on georgetown
4. Look good in a skinsuit
