Isn't this what keeps most of us going?
Sounds like you had a good race today.
I raced the London League event at Ardingly. The course was, I thought, an excellent mix of fast sections, one or two tricky technical sections and some slow corner sections. I couldn't be arsed to carry my tub wheels with me and regretted that decision immediately I started riding the course. Lots of claggy mud that would have the Terras would have dealt with better than my Michelin Muds. I dropped the pressure and got on with it though.
Had a good race, spent most of it in a race long duel with a group of 6 0r 7 that ended with the three most experienced of us getting away to contest the sprint, in which I got baulked as one of my rivals had to move line to avoid a slowing lapped rider and I ran out of road as he eased into my path. I would have had him too. Maybe.
Well done to @Jon. who won the Seniors race for the second week running.
