Purbeck One Day Tour
12th August 2012
An early start for this 2 part race at Wareham, consisting of a short TT on road bikes followed by a hilly road race on the Wool/Lulworth circuit. Eighty riders started with Phil finishing in 11th place in the TT, just 20 seconds behind the leader. The road race started at 1:30pm going up the main climb 6 times, Phil was very active throughout the race and broke away on the last lap, only to be caught with approx. 3 miles to go. Luckily he had enough in the tank for the final climb and finished in an impressive 4th place and 10th overall.

Day finished off nicely with superb fish & chips down at Lulworth Cove and a trip over to Durdle Door. Pictures here......

Farnham 4up TTT
5th August 2012
This event always tends to be eventful and this year was no exception, myself, Andy, Rob and John H lined up for this event reasonably confident of a decent performance. Unfortunately about 2 minutes after starting it absolutely chucked it down, now I don't mind the rain but this was so bad I couldn't see the guys wheel in front of me! We carried on but I kept leaving gaps and after awhile the gap was too big and I left the 3 of them to it.
Meanwhile Phil, Seb, Darren and Paddy set off and although Darren had the misfortune to puncture and damage his rim, the remaining 3 stuck at it to record a fast 51:54 putting them in 4th place.

Summer racing
31st July 2012
Sotonia Heath Race - Phil 2nd place, although 1st place was so close, if only the car hadn't impeded his sprint, Phil clipped the car's wing mirror as he went to go round the rider at the front, luckily he stayed on his bike and held on for 2nd place.
