Well, what a terrible race! I like that course as its got a lot of climbing, which suits me. Also the weather was finally good after about a month of showers. I was really up for good ride after 2 x 2nd places in the series...but it turned into a bit of a disaster. After leading for 3 laps, i was caught by sam gardener, but 2nd place soon turned into 4th as i had to stop to re-fix a crank arm which was just about to fall off. Then a few other problems lead to being passed again, to finish 5th. Thats my 1st mechanical since i can remember - probably for years! Anyway, can only look forward, so hoping for good weather at the SSMM 24hr, followed by the National Champs a few weeks after. Hopefully will have the secret weapon unveiled for the 24hr. Not strictly a retro bike, more old school frame but its the best i can do at the mo. Maybe see if i can borrow something proper retro for the 1st lap. Also need to dig out a check shirt, jeans, moustache....
