Well done everyone on a strong ride. Everyone was looking very spritely at the head of the bunch - good to see a Clifton rider in every move.
Really enjoyed that course, and that finishing hill with a tailwind was great. Loved sprinting up there on the first couple of laps. Was a big shame to end the race early after a detour to the ditch (somehow I managed to travel such a distance that I went right over the wide verge and into the ditch under the hedge
). Was lucky to have a soft landing though, and the good news is that my wrist isn't broken, just swollen and bruised. Shame the bunch seemed so nervous.
On the plus side, was great to watch Damian and Cam gunning towards the line for some good points in the sprint (well done guys!) and congrats to Andrew Windrum for the win!
Well done again to everyone else for a solid ride - sometime soon there'll be a rider in red and black crossing the line with their hands in the air.
