So a few weeks ago I went down to Hillingdon to see how I felt and walked away with an 18th place and my seat post alot lower than it should have been. Also I've finally got a new carbon frame, somthing I've been talking about for over a year.
Last Sunday I went to the Stratford CC Reliability, with cycling 20 miles out there in the rain we started and I felt a bit sluggish like my legs didn't like turning and after getting dropped me and my mate Justin said lets go home. Solid 60 miles cycling in the rain that day.
Today was the Banbury star Reliability ride and using my new bike for the second time we hit the first big descent I overtook the two people in front of me and the bike just flew down that hill. It's the most aggressive handling bike I've ever ridden and maybe on of the fastest road bikes I've ever used. Anyway this gap I managed to keep until mile 45 when I was caught by Justin and then we did a few miles together and he dropped me but after 33 miles of solo breakaway I couldn't get my legs to turn to stay with him on the climb so it was then just a case of get myself back to the finish. I did and managed a time of 3 hours 10 mins over 62 miles and the 2nd fastest time on the day. I am now shattered and just want to sit in the chair for the rest of the day!
Thanks for reading.
