So, shall I go first then?
Not sure I know the full picture about who was doing what. I do know that there were several Saturday clubrun groups out on the road - would be good to hear about it.
Kit came in 16th in the Bikeline 2 Day - should be lots to write about there!
Up in Stokesley on Sunday we had the strange situation of Clifton riders competing in a TT and RR at the same time on (partly) the same roads and sharing comradely shouts of encouragement. In the 21 mile test, Nigel was 8th, Andy Jonno 14th, Nick B 16th and Steve Woody 23rd. It sounded like a good course. How was it?
The RR was a h/cap affair with Phil B starting with the 4ths, me with the 3rds and Muzzy with the 2nds. There was some heroic leg breaking, lung busting chasing done as the big groups split in the cross winds and, ultimately, after showing the colours at the front (of the various groups) for much of the race, we all finished as part of a very strung out second group, less than a minute down on the winner. For me personally it was interesting return to racing - enjoyed the buzz at the HQ - the familiar smell of embrocation and hiss of inhalers! It was like I'd never been away!
