Another occasion on which the alternative Stony course was required - due to the same roadworks issues as before. Mind you, no one had repaired the dodgy road surfaces on this course! On a muggy and hot evening, a stellar field of 10 veterans turned out to contest the event.
No much to report really - it was tough all the way round, though I’m getting closer to being able to correctly down-gear for that nasty nip after the lengthy descent from Whaddon on the return leg. I finished in 26:48 to take the win - also good enough to win on veteran standard. It was a close thing - the top four places were withing 25 seconds. I rode the event on the P3 - mostly because it’s set up with H3 trispokes with alloy braking surfaces - the weather forecast suggested it might be wet (though it wasn’t at all wet for the race as it turned out).| Pos | No | Name | Club | Time | Cat | Vets Std | .+ / - | Vets Std |
