That's a bit sad. National Champs should always be as open a field as possible. It's the chance for any rider to hold for even a brief moment that they're the best in the country. The only response to getting beaten is to train harder and ride better. Wedding the bed will never make you a better racer.
Also, I reckon it's time to have a proper go at racing. I've loved being a spectator but reckon it's time to walk what I've been talking. It also neatly co-incides with my plans regarding audaxing which mean I'm off the fixed for the forseeable. It's a Tricross to I may as well rig it for SSCX and put it to use instead of leaving it in the basement until next winter. Perhaps we should see about arranging our own SS National Champs next season.
