Hillingdon Winter Series

My first race of the season was at hillingdon last saturday (23rd). I was looking forward to racing after not racing since october and i was feeling quite strong. the race was 30 mins + 3 laps but that was not to be to my advantage later in the race. i spent the race pushing hard at the front and then relienquishing at the back however the pace was slow and there was only a few people who were prepared to spend any time on the front. By the time i heard the bell i was at the front not seeing the 3,2 laps to go and then i had one option to push a hard as i could to the finish. so i was on the front for 0.75 miles when the lactate began to build up and i couldn't give anymore but i still held on to 7th with Eliot getting 5th. Although i was a tad disapionted i was still a great deal fitter than i was this time last season bring on the rest of the season.

Todays ride was at last a warm one it actually reached over 4 degrees so i got straight out with a few others and we headed out over dorking way to find out that Wesmeston Hill was unridable so we turned back and headed back for Horsham along the way we added a few intermidiate sprints and i was piped by Woody on the drag to Rusper. After a quick tea break i headed back over towards Cranliegh to make the ride the full 4 hours. Look forward to the week ahead not an easy one!
