The reserve course which was a shame as we had a easterly wind?

Only myself and Neil Poulton in this.
Nearly went home as I drove through torrential rain to get there. Was dryish by the time I started , only got rained on once which misted my visor up nicely ; had to stop to hide it in the bushes!

Good ride Chris, I had a few Visor related issues too!! I was pretty lucky with the conditions during my ride. Was actually quite lucky to be on the start line this week, I had a throat infection over the bank holiday weekend and only just felt good enough to race...one day earlier and I couldn't have done it!!

Hopefully be back up to full steam for the 10 on Saturday :-)

Great, thanks for that...I saw a few of those trip socks around...shocked that they are £50!!! Though I guess they'll last a long time??
