So Jacques & I went over to the Scarborough Festival of cycling (circuit racing) this morning.
Not so many women - 5, maybe 6 so we went in with the 4th cats. Nice circuit - was just on the top section so no big hilly bit, but a little windy & the finish on a bit of a draggy incline. Only one nasty corner for me to make a mess of & actually most folk were pretty sensible on it. (though I was a bit twitchy a few times )
24mph average speed & some good strong riders. Had an absolute blast - tried to stay mostly in the middle of the group & not trip anyone up & managed to finish somewhere towards the front. 3rd Woman (behind 2 very strong cat 2 ladies) so I think I get some shiny points for that (band 4 so maybe even 10?)
Jacques had a cracking ride in the cat4s - I'll leave it to him to report.
Can't believe I've got points - and my first envelope with a fiver too!
