Tonight was my first experience of the Tockwith series - set off pretty quick & there was a fair amount of dodgy riding on the corners so I backed off a bit & quickly found myself at the back.
A few dropped off & I had to give myself a bit of a talking to to push back on & move into the group more, where I settled down, but there was still some odd riding that made me a bit twitchy on the brakes (I ended up doing some dodgy riding of my own occasionally I think...)
That said, I managed to stay well enough and I finished in the second half of the bunch (though I must have sprinted less hard Andy as I only had 24.8mph av! )
Was quite a variable pace & I need to work on the sprint, but I think the main thing is having confidence to push on when everyone is close around you doing silly things. Guess that will come!
Good evening's riding & was great to see all the Clifton guys out & looking strong. Well done team!
