Beeston Road Race

Sunday saw me take part in my second 2/3/4 road race of the season. It was a relatively flat course, benign conditions meaning the chances of a breakaway were slim to say the least. My team mate, Andy, worked hard to attack early on but his efforts were in vain as the bunch were in the mood to chase everything down. I left my efforts until half way through, again the bunch allowed me to get a gap of 30 seconds or so before frustratingly chasing me down.
Everyone was gearing up for the sprint and I had positioned myself wheel. However not knowing the course I opened up the sprint very early which blew the race apart. It left me and 6 riders effectively off the front one of which was Andy. He managed a very respectable 3rd place and I held on for a top 10, or so I though until the organizer left me of the results!
Fingers crossed the result will be corrected and I will maintain my run of top 15 results this season. Next for me is the BUCS 25 Mile time-trial and the Out of The Saddle Road Race.
