Having spent the afternoon working locally to my home area, I took the opportunity to put my bike in the van and race on my ‘local’ circuit for only the second time this year. In my previous race here, Si ‘Ernie’ Ernest took the victory whilst i grabbed 4th. Having won at least 1 race at the bowl for the past 5 seasons, I was determined to take the bull by the horns, despite it being my 4th race in 5 days.
Steve Golla (sigma) went from the gun, I followed immediately.

Barely 28 hours after finishing the 120km hilly vet’s race, I wondered what I was doing on the start line amongst 20 odd other riders, but surprisingly no other from the team. I wasn’t the only solo rider as even more surprisingly, Juzy Hoy was the lone Felt rider. 

I am sure, like most people, I love a challenge, but perhaps never take the plunge............and so having seen a billboard advertising a 26 mile Midnight Walk what an opportunity! (it also seemed a little easier than doing the Plymouth Half Marathon!! )
