A great afternoon on the VTTA A25/34 course which saw the Smash Master General, Giles White, break his all-time best by well over a minute recording a time of 54:03 on the line despite the wind direction changing to an easterly which made for tough going from the turn back along the A46 to Farndon.
Chris Draper recorded a notable 57:11
Kevin Humphreys laying down a good 1:01:23
Roger Widdowson a half respectable 1:03:24 despite recent poor form.
It never gets easier and all the geriatrics had a great chat afterwards about the challenges we faced.
Giles did look as though he was going to break down and start blubbing at any time.
It's nice when riders get all emotional.
For the record, this event was won in 46:57 by Adam Duggleby. An insane ride given the conditions.
