So I favoured Croft today instead of the training ride, for a women's coaching session and race.
I think there were 12 of us in the group, which was a fantastic turnout from the ladies! Varying abilities but I thought the coaching was top notch and I'm pretty sure we all got something useful out of it. So thanks a million to Andy and Michelle from BC who deserve full credit for getting this going.
Fair to say the race afterwards was pretty hard and tactically I got a bit wrong. (ok, a lot), but all good things and things I can easily improve I think, with a bit of practice.
Super riding from Fi today who came past me in the final sprint
Great news is that there are a lot of strong ladies in the region (kind of knew this already but never seen everyone together!)
hopefully we can muster up some more entries in this years races as the season goes on.
In other news, I'm probably stealing his thunder (sorry sharpy) but Rich Sharp had a fantastic ride in the cat 4 race, taking both the Prime AND the Win. Superb result.
