North Bucks 10 mile Time Trial 28/5/08 - F5d/10
In the event, I was one of the later starters, and got a bit clobbered by the rain when it arrived. I didn't have a clear runf through any of the roundabouts, other than the far turn, and I found the run up to the Stoke Hammond bypass a real struggle. Coming back from the turn was pretty quick, and I especially noticed the benefits of the tailwind when on the false flat immediately before the finish. I could tell from the off that I wasn't on a good ride this evening, and as it turned out I was pretty luck to take third place overall. Still, we saw some excellent performances, notably Tim and Tony, who took first and second places with excellent times on a frankly rather crummy evening for a time trial, and on a not particularly quick course. Gilbert pipped me again on vet's standard!
No more racing for a couple of weeks - I'm off cycle touring in the Hebrides, which will be a welcome change of pace!
Oh, and to cap it all, my rear tyre deflated while I was in the clubroom after the event. Either someone's winding me up, or this was my 9th puncture of the 2008 season (none actually in events, however!).
