The end of the season is nigh! NBRC Club '10', Astwood 6/9/08
It seems like it was only yesterday that I started a new season, and here we are with the last time trial of the North Bucks club event season (we have a couple of hill climbs, and the Norlond '25' on 7th September is the nominated event for the club '25' championship still to come). In actual fact I have one remaining season goal - the Duo Normand on the 21st September (see my preview blog article). This event was the eighth counting event in the 2008 NBRC League - the final table is available at the North Bucks Road Club website (pdf file).
I got a bit wet in some relatively light rain (in comparison to the overnight rain that we'd had), and another bout of rain caused some to wonder whether the event would go ahead. But go ahead it did. I had a distinct lack of energy, probably due to a mild tummy upset over the previous 36 hours. I was also a bit cross about the JCB parked across the road just before the climb to North Crawle, and the slow moving traffic through North Crawley.
I wound up in second place behind Tony, with 23:55.
On the way home, I picked up a slow puncture, raising my seasons puncture total to 10 on the time trial bike
