LVRC Dunton 6 - Thurs 21st July 11
Fri 22 Jul 2011
With skies looking bleak and rainy all afternoon, only myself turned out from NRCC. Secretly I was pleased as that would mean no-one would see me getting dropped (at my first attempt last week I only managed to hang on for 20 minutes).
Lessons learned, sights were set on modest objectives, i.e. stay near the front, not waste energy chasing every break, not initiate a break and finish the race in the pack. I managed to hang on and win the fourth prime after closing down a break, but could do nothing about the next break of five which got away and that meant finishing in the bunch.
