Whilst its not far over to Moscow, you are more than welcome to stop by on the way and we can travel together if you want - and make a cunning plan, that unfortunately may require superior fitness, hmm that could be a sticking point for me !

 

Just let me know, I plan to leave just before noon.

Interesting racing conditions predicted by Met Office.

Will suit cyclists with low centres of gravity and champion kite flyers:

 

12:00 Light Rain 8°C NW 35 mph 51 mph

15:00 Light Rain 8°C WNW 35 mph 54 mph :shock:

Terrific 4th place in the big and dangerous bunch sprint for Paul :grin:

 

Puncture for me and no entry for Matt :-x

 

So, a mixed bag of results for the Joansin :roll:

Jim and I started in the 3rd out of 4 groups in a full field of 60 riders. Jim had misfortune to puncture after about 28 of the 36 miles. Groups 1&2 had 10 Ayr riders and a race plan to go all out to keep the early groups away. However, in a perfect handicapping, all the groups came together on the final drag through Moscow with 2 miles to go. My legs pretty shot at this point but had a go at the sprint, which in the scheme of things was one of the hairier ones (about 40 riders-early season-mixed ability-pot holes etc) and some riders going down inside the last 200m, managed 4th behind the strongest rider in the field Bazza McGurk and the 2 ringers from the second group, Kenny Raeside (2nd) and Brian Loye (3rd). I was 4th and Craig Gilmour rounded out the first 5.
