National 10 coming up this Sunday near Newbury - anyone from here going to be there? I'll be there in a spannering role cheering on Mrs S.

I was there - in a minor helping role.

Beautiful Day and countryside. Ermine Street, the (Roman) road used for the event, was ideal although not easy. It's a country lane which includes a 1 in 12 climb, so hats off to the winners and all those riders whose times were so fast that the difficulties of the course didn't show in the results.

The roundabout turn on the A4 was very busy and caused a few anxious moments, especially with the juniors who, naturally, believe themselves to be immortal.

I understand the slowest qualifying time accepted for the men's event was 21.23 which I guess is not attainable, at the moment, by many Forum users. However both the ladies and the junior events were undersubscribed, so anyone here in those categories could expect to get a ride in this 'Blue Riband' event next year.
