Went over to Braithwell on Sun for a 2/3/4 race on a course with a long drag and a steep ramp up to it.A fast down hill with a roundabout leading to the climb and an exposed stretch with cross winds leading to the finish line.A fast !start with line out for almost all of the first 2 laps until the expected break went away,Cam trying to join in but just could not make it The break,getting 2 plus mins by the end.The pace stayed high and positioning at the top of the climb was key to me as the cross wind at the top meant a big effort to close the gap if badly positioned.This was the most difficult of the course as the climb was pretty quick it was into the wind so u could get shelter if needed.John s looked pretty solid inthe bunch and had a decent go in the bunch sprint and Cam looked like he was getting frustrated at being run down every time he had a dig.Myself i was satisfied with my race as it takes me a few to get in the swing .Felt good though .A few lap times.LAP 1 25MPH INCLUDING RIDE OUT) LAP3 25.6MPH LAP 7 24.8MPH , AV 24.9MPH for race so not hanging about.Good fun!
