@Paulicus - D'oh! Did you manage to get to the right place afterwards?
Pre-work ride, out on the Cove.
No, I completely missed it. I went and had a crack with my mate yesterday (lost his footing coming down a ladder, fallen, and popped his ankle) and we got talking about the race. It was a rolling closure job, a proper baptism by fire with elbows, leaning on, pushing and jostling for position etc. His son was in the main bunch on the third lap and broke away on a climb, got himself a bit of a gap and thought to himself, I’ve got this, that was until the bunch reeled him in, swallowed him, and dropped him!
He finished in the middle of the placings with an average speed of 26 mph over a 50-mile circuit and finished it in just over two hours. Apparently quite a few riders abandoned due to the pace. Criteriums next.
