for everyone

A more reasonable handicap after last weeks performance.  Rod Freeman and I rolled off 7 minutes before scratch - we thought we would do well to stay clear until the main road.  As it was, we made it along the airfield road before being swallowed up.  As ever, the changes in pace took their toll and I as yo-yoing off the back after the second climb at Lamport - closing the 20yds gap was achievable until the pace went up and they pulled away.  I spent the remainder of the race - about 13 miles - on my own.  Still, apparently I wasn't last and my time trialling is coming along nicely.   

10 minute handicap at Old then?  Thanks to Rowland for the tea.

and at least you are racing, either in form or not!! I on the other hand have been too scared/busy to go, and after speaking to Nigel I might wait until the summer handicaps before trying. Sounds like i'm putting it off eh??

Troy, there is nothing wrong with trundling round at the back but I very much doubt you would be anyway. It would be good experience for you - give it a go.

I don't think they are bothered if you are at the back. Might be upset if you win and cross the line in your plumz kit!
