Sunday the 23rd of March saw 3 KeswickBikes.co.uk riders on the start sheet for the 1st round of the Rudy Project national time trial series. Early morning fears about the event being cancelled due to snow where unfounded as the course ( circuit of Bassenthwaite lake) was clear and in good condition.
With nothing to gauge my form on i was not sure how well i was going, i was expecting anything from winning through to blowing spectacularly, in the end I was somewhere is the middle. I finished 7th just over 4 minutes adrift of winner Mark Holton of Probikekit.com over the 2 laps of the lake. While i was happy this was as fast as i could have gone on the day and that it is still early days in the season it was a bitter pill to swallow on effectively my home course.
Richard Houghton place 4th in the Junior event to get his account underway in this prestgious series, one which he will be aiming to do well in the overall.
Vicky Ware took 12th in the womens event, suffering from unfamiliarity with her bike due to enforced last minute bike changes. The womens event was won by Olypian and track world record holder Sarah Storey.
