2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted March 22, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Another year another great event from Stirling bike club. 4th cat race was a bit faster than last year but i was doing ok, usual story of hanging about at the back a bit much which almost caught me out as there was a crash late on which split the lead group, managed to pick my way through the flying carbon (a bit hit my helmet!) and got back on by the end of the next lap. Was getting towards the end by then and i moved up on the drag of final lap, and tried to be at the front but not quite on it...managed that ok sprint opened up and i was about third going into the final corner. I had wanted to be first going into this corner but everyone else had the same idea and there wasnt space for us all. The two in front overcooked a bit and went wide and i went for the inside, but in doing so clipped a pedal and almost came off. Managed to stay on the bike but the loss of momentum was too much and then not only lost the chance of a podium but got overtaken by a few other riders too. Feels like a missed opportunity for a daft mistake i shouldnt have made Richard, KennyS and alexb 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Porteous Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Unlucky Iain, sounds like you made all the right moves - and that's half the battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted March 22, 2015 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm sure that somewhere someone will be moaning about the guy in front of them who clipped his pedal and ruined their chances of a better placing! It was an eventful corner - in the previous race the guy who was leading going into the final lap got a puncture on the corner and in the race afterwards a few went down (including Eileen Roe, Kayleigh Brogan and Louise Borthwick) in the middle of the sprint coming out the final corner. So it could have been worse i suppose, at least i stayed on the bike. Colin McPhee and Richard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Richard Posted March 23, 2015 Members Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Seventh out of 40-odd riders is good going, Iain. I can understand your disappointment, though, cos you look incredibly close to the top three in the photos of the finish. You must have been in with a real chance of the win before you grounded your pedal. Stick at it. You've got Under The Castle, Dunfermline, Ingliston and maybe the Tour series support race still to come. Plenty of time for you to get on the podium.

alexb Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Sounds brilliant Iain! Really eventful, hard fought race. To be where you were on the final corner is excellent. Bad luck on the pedal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well , actually it was only Eileen Roe, British Crit Champion who 'went down' at the 'eventful corner'. She failed miserably to negotiate the corner, totally lost control in the bend, hit the deck and broadsided Kayleigh and Miss Borthwick who were in contention, knocking them both off and robbing them both of a possible win / podium place. Desperate, absolutely desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
