South Region Championships
20th May 2012
Not quite the way to celebrate our 23rd Wedding Anniversary but we popped over to see Phil racing the Southern Region Championships on the hilly course over at Stockbridge. This race was over 90 miles and featured the top riders in the South, getting out of the car we were greeted with Philip in a breakaway of 3 riders! There was a rider up the road but they quickly caught him, importantly though the bunch were about 2 minutes behind. With 3 laps to go however they were caught and Phil had to dig deep to stay in, finishing 17th out of 80 odd riders was really impressive and the highlight so far of his season.

Navigator racing
13th May 2012
After an abscence of 3 to 4 years, myself and Trevor entered the 3 hour Navigator Race at Cliddesden, bright sunny conditions and we were both looking forward to some mountainbiking. We were both feeling apprehensive but after the initial fumble for the first checkpoint we were soon into the swing of it. We missed out 3 minor checkpoints and tyres screeching skidded up to the finish line with 30 seconds to spare. We finished just short of the winners who managed a clearance, but good for 2nd place!!

Tour of the Milburys
12th May 2012
Following the recent torrential down pours, this years Milburys was dry and at times even warm. This was Phil's first race for a few weeks following illness, although expectations were high the reality was that it was going to be a tough day.
20th in the prologue and finishing in the main bunch in the main race was very respectable, a lot of riders pulled out in the main race due to the high pace.
