Road Races / Abergavenny Handicap RR E1234
« on: March 23, 2019, 07:46:59 PM »
Good race today.
Fast from the start, averaging nearly 28mph for the 47 miles.
Handicap meant the E12 started a few minutes behind us, but we worked well and didn’t hang about so they didn’t catch us, which was the plan. Our group started around 50 strong but the pace whittled it down to around 15 with a KM to go.
One guy tried his luck and stayed away just about. Thought I’d catch him before the line, but fell 5 meters short! Then pipped on the line for 2nd by a fast finishing Jack Broadley who won the Betty last week.
Disappointed didn’t get the win, the line as always came quicker than expected. Wish we’d had another lap as I was getting stronger and feeling better as the race went on.
Hey ho...onto the next one.
Adrian.

Road Races / Re: Betty Pharoah RR - 17th March

Thanks Harpo. Great to represent OVW at the Betty today.
Really enjoyed my first race back, definitely feeling the additional 30 years & 4 stone after competing at Elite/1st Cat level back in the late 80’s! 😂
Tough day with the wind, crashes everywhere with lots of near misses as a result of some poor bike handling from a select few. I nearly got took out a few times myself but managed to stay upright and dish out some constructive feedback! 😉
Felt pretty good first lap, had s few pops to wind up the race. Towards the end of the 2nd lap put in an effort after avoiding a tumble that put me in the red just as the hammer went down to catch the break, I then struggled to recover. Dropped off and called it a day as didn’t feel I could compete for a good placing. Will use the learning to enhance my training plan for a better chance through the season so got what I wanted from the race.
Onwards to the Abergavenny handicap next Sat, and hopefully be competitive enough to start competing for a win over the next 6-8 weeks once I have my racing legs back on song and shed a few kilo’s!
Be good to have some team mates to ride with! 😜
