16th October 2011
Last event of the time trial calender saw both myself and Phil competing in this hilly race, shortened this year to 18 miles due to roadworks it looked it if was going to be easier, but no it still kept in the 3 big climbs. I finished in a just ok 20th place out of 50 with 51:25, whilst Phil finished 10th in 48:57. Of course I'm not going to mention how much better he could have done if he'd hadn't taken a wrong turn!
No more TTs now until next year.

Myself, Trev & John Glaysher teamed up for this team time trial, having never ridden competitively together before it was going to be interesting to see how we would get on.
We knew from previous years that it was a tough course, but this year a stretch of road had the top layer of tarmac taken off leaving a very rough "roubaix" style section, also to make it even tougher there was a very strong head-wind on large part of the course to contend with.
Fortunately we rode very well together and managed to stay free of punctures finishing in a time of 1:00:01 in 3rd place, really chuffed as we beat a lot of good teams in very tough conditions.
Unfortunately luck wasn't on the side of Darryls team (Rob & John) as Darryl punctured leaving Rob & John to ride together as a 2up finishing about 11 secfonds behind us.
Now what shall I do with my substantial winnings?

Stockbridge Road Race
Phil finished in the top 15 of this "National B" E,1,2,3 road race, a strong field on this tough course made for some hard racing. The race was won by Ben Stockdale and most of the finishers above Phil were elites.
