Saturday saw me pin the last ever numbers onto my old jersey, for the Huddersfield Star Wheelers hillclimb at Jackson Bridge. Someone took a video, it's here and the commentary at 4.00 is quite amusing: "This guy's from Clifton, he'll be a quickie." That's high praise for a flatland club! I had to shatter his confidences in my abilities, coming a middling 26/45 with 5m56s and feeling I could have pushed a little harder. Our own Nathan Veall was also riding and came in four seconds slower than me, which pleased me as he beat my up the Bishop Wilton climb last week
Maybe someone fast needs to go back there next year to restore the filmer's confidence in Clifton?Sunday was Gerry's autumn Brevet, which was a pleasure as ever. I do like the Wigginton audaxes that bookend the season. The new colours were out in force and looked very smart, so I'm off to Cycleworks to buy some this afternoon. I got a few photos on Sunday, They're here.
Joined Bernard, Steve, Dawn, Ginnie, Pavle. Good company as usual, good to see the new club kit well represented. I certainly would recommend buying some. Nice ride round the hills of north yorkshire, busy cafe stop at Ampleforth but good food.
