Thats when i fell for, the leader of the pack.

That song replicated life at the criterium today. I felt terrible after a full week back to training. The legs were dead riding to the track, and there was a stiff southerly blowing. Race tactics were pretty simple; keep out of the wind and don't get dropped.

All started fairly well and I was sitting comfortably in the main bunch. Two punters then decided to attack the group - and with no one left wanting to do work to chase them down, the breakaway was gaining time with each lap...

One punter in the bunch decided he wanted to join the break himself and launched off - I went with his wheel and after 30 seconds found myself in a world of pain. Things went downhill from there... The main engine room shut down and i felt myself going backwards... The rest of the bunch caught back up, and i started to drift towards the back......

Energy is being focussed now towards the club 20km ITT later this month. I have built up a new TT rig which is nice and light and has a PTSL with Wheelbuilder Disc Covers...

Keep Safe.
