recent activities....

its been a while since my last post but heres a quick rundown of the latest, on feb 24th me and ally headed down to the bashall eaves circuit for the clayton velo spring classic and despite the bad weather it was a good race, i took all the primes for the 3rd cat category after riding away from them after just one lap and ally did the same for the 2nd cat group. unfortunately after spending much of the race off the front the large chasing group eventually got the better of us and we were caught, it all went down hill from there really and we both finished the race off the back of the main group, it did however show great promise for my time trialling... thanks to vicky for the useful split times throughout the race. last weekend i travelled to fylde near blackpool, on the way there i was told it was flat, how flat? well very flat, and windy, the elite riders in the group drove the pace on from the start and with the windy conditions the group soon split and many of the riders packed in, after 3 laps killing myself to try and get back to the main group i threw in the towel and was forced to call it a day, apparently having an incredibly aerodynamic bike doesnt make ALL the difference. it was a useful experience as its been earmarked as an area to avoid. well its two weeks till the easter four day which ill no doubt have some comment on. until then ill be erm.... preparing. (i love my cervelo, i think everyone should have one, incredible machines.)
