Le Road Bike 10

The road bike 10 shows up those who have paid wisely for their speed. Struggling to recall what the conditions were like, but I have the feeling there was a slight head wind out. I was fresh from my Grand Tour, so felt very confident - pride before the fall they say.

Jonny’s form came good for this event, all part of the plan for a road race on the weekend afterwards. As you’re about to read, he was gifted the win, because Mr Missile as he passed me slowed down to have a chat and give me a shove towards the finish. This was the point where I warned him that would cost him first place as I could see Johnny had gone out of the traps like a scolded aardvark. In the end that 1 second cost The Missile the Gold.

Max had a lonesome 3^rd spot with Taff moving slowly towards the front runners as the year is progressing. Me – either the aero kit is good or I had a shocker. 

Paul M on the other hand was very pleased with his ride, giving him a real idea of where everyone is in the grand scheme of things. 

New boy Tim fresh back to cycling after many years away was happy with what he’d done, creating a benchmark for further rides. 

This was Sarah’s first event. Nerves /worry was obvious before the start. In the end, I think she really enjoyed it, knowing full well there was more in the tank to come.

Will cheated, rode his TT bike. He was actually just testing it, but alas his time was not a counter.

Thanks to Julie timing, Bill at the turn

Rider of the night was Jonny, a real jump in performance.
