Firstly, thanks to Rich and all the other volunteers for a well organised race.
Although I enjoyed racing last night, I felt a bit disappointed not to be able to contest the sprint. The bunch was really tight and with miles to go was spread across the whole of the road. I felt like I had a reasonable amount left in the tank but just couldn't see a way past the riders in front without taking a risk.
As Tim says, its hard to get tactics right - Having found myself at the front for the last mile or so at Kirby Misperton until the sprint, I decided to sit in a bit more. Perhaps I should be searching for somewhere in between.
Unless we get ourselves organised as a club and try to break together? I think there are a number of riders strong enough.
Nevertheless, good event and congrats to John. Point(s)!
