I expected things to be tough for me whatever ride I did, but within 20 miles I knew that it was going to be just a case of survival and "lead" the ride by tagging myself firmly at the back of the line and doing nothing. We certainly had a couple of ringers who are going to have to have numbers on their backs this year - that's you J and Dr D.
Given the calibre of those who dropped off (both who did more work on the front than I did and one recovering from injury), I think things were a bit quick for a January steady training ride. If we've a lot out next week I think a bit of group rebalancing is in order.
Not that I'm complaining, nothing gets me fit quicker than being beasted - bring it on.
(Does this sound like a convincing cafe story - if you can't catch us with an top elite rider on your team - you've got a bit of work to do yet Phil )
