Racing and Stuff

March 2012

Kirdford & Newick

Phil competed in some early season Surrey League Races, similar pattern in both starting off well but fading towards the end, especially Newick where it hammered down with rain in the later part of the race, on the positive side stayed out of trouble and blowing the cobwebs out for later season races.

Gee up Neddy (16th March 2012)

Myself and Gill went for an hour horseriding courtesy of Groupon, really good fun but wished we'd taken our cycle shorts!

Provence Training Camp

3rd - 10th March 2012

Awesome location for cycling, stayed at Malaucene at the foot of Mont Ventoux with 8 other team mates, plus DCB & Kathy. Weather was sunny most days, there was a strong wind for a few days early on in the week, but generally the weather was perfect. Rode out on the Friday to watch Bradly Wiggins riding past on a stage of Paris-Nice, where he made history to be only the 2nd Brit in history alongside Tommy Simpson to win the Yellow Jersey. Only downside was the cough I'd brought with me which dampened my cycling ability until the last day.
