49 miles of a demanding Cheshire lanes based road race .
I have decided that this was going to be the last BC race with the cost of an extra licence and the fact that the races are not age related.
Lap 1 - The neutralised start got going at almost 30mph behind the lead car!
It settled down though and as we passed the first farm entrance the bike and kit got coated in the first decoration of whatever manure was on the road.
Lap 2 - 6 - Just stayed with the bunch. Hield Lane climb was not a problem.
Final Lap - The pace never really took off and finished comfortably with the bunch.
I would never say that a road race is ever 'easy' but this one did not put me into any difficulty at any stage. I did prepare better this morning with a decent warmup.
It all got me wondering as to why some TLI and LVRC races really do hurt.
