Perhaps I can say a few words.....
The main bunch is just fine as it is; untidy at times, yes but that improves as the year progresses.
I thought the run on Sunday was pretty much as posted by Billy.
I knew I would struggle after the cafe, but I also know that when I have not been able to train, once over 60 miles, the quickest way I get better is by toughing it out.
On Sunday, despite George, Charlie and Colin helping me get back on, I knew I could not hold a wheel and was therefore, in my opinion, hindering the run. We've all been dropped and someone helped us back but this was different.
It took a lot of convincing to make the bunch go on and
I was happy to make my own way back and happy I got as far as I did.
So with that, let's get on with it! See you next Sunday.
Tom
