Full report required

I think top 20 finish for both is on the cards

 

Erm, not quite.

 

Chas & I set off in group two, riding into a gale.

 

Group was working ok in a thru & off formation & I felt quite comfortable.

 

A couple of gaps opened but I was able to close them quite easily.

 

Over a couple of stiff wee hills & feeling ok then DISASTER!

 

Shifted to wee ring only for chain to unship. Took so long to put it back on that even Charlie passed me :(

 

Got going again but by this time group 3 had caught me so i sat in with them.

 

Bits of chasing groups caught & passed us until a group of 5 remained.

 

We got to the end of the 1st lap when, to a man, they all turned off for the changing rooms.

 

Faced with a 20 mile solo in that wind I decided to do the same.

 

Disappointed but I was going ok so not too disheartened.

 

Had to wait A-G-E-S for Charlie to finish. Think he stopped for a cuppa in the Rob Roy Hotel!

Tough day on bike today but good yo get race miles in legs. G and I started in group 2 chain gang into easterly wind both did our share then left turn and fast twisty downhill section. I was a bit wimpy here and bunch broke up. Worked with those around me and ended up on second lap going round with some guys from pedal power and a couple of girls from deeside cc. Got back and had tea and cake with my new cycle chums. Once done found George huffing in the car

Tsk. Charlie, it's not in my nature to huff.

 

Didn't even go in the huff when your 1st words to me after the race were-

 

"1-0"

 

He's truly insufferable at times :)

Wind was bad but zipp 404 front/808 back just made it ridiculous.

 

Just got my 303's fixed so will be using these for my other road race pastings this year. Stoooopid!
