7 left The Square in the front group, and made swift progress out to Bishopwood thanks to the lovely tailwind. A quick watering of plants and away we went for 6 laps of the famous circuit.
Group was fantastically smooth rolling through and a real pleasure to ride in. We dropped a couple along the way to leave 5 of us for the last lap and a bit. We drove the pace up a little on the last lap as you'd expect, but overall the power was 20W higher today (and smoother) than in the final 50 mins of the Hull Thursday race last Sunday.
For anyone who likes lots and lots of numbers, scores on the doors are:
Lap 1: 13mins 15 secs, 24.2mph, 300W,
Lap 2: 13mins 03 secs, 24.6mph, 305W,
Lap 3: 13mins 15 secs, 24.2mph, 307W,
Lap 4: 13mins 21 secs, 24.1mph, 303W,
Lap 5: 13mins 05 secs, 24.6mph, 296W,
Lap 6: 12mins 37 secs, 25.4mph, 361W.
And the important bit - Cam won the sprint
Great to be back out on a Saturday ride, and everyone looked really strong. Added on an extra few miles on my way home to round it up to about 4 hours 40 mins, and 93 miles
Cheers folks
