Hi All,

Teresa I wish you were right.!!!

Weather conditions were awful. Strong headwind and driving rain for approx. 14 miles to the turn, basically.

I had to fight with the bike to keep it on the road !!! Seriously.

Approx. half of the field of 125 were DNS,some riders saying due of the weather conditions ???

The result sheet was very difficult to decipher but I think Keiron Davies maybe the Winner with a 49....?

I achieved a PB of 59.45 only 4 secs but happy with that considering the conditions.

Norman raced but I`m afraid his time was not up by the time I left.

Cheers !

Those Guernsey people are all fast aren't they-you'd have thought Guernsey was too small to practice going that fast.Well done to Mark and Norman

Thanks Gents.

Rob,

I actually spoke with him before the race and he said he`s a 57 minute man on that course !!!

All good experience, looking forward to improving as the season unfolds.

Cheers,

Mark.
