CLUB RUN SAT 5th MARCH 2011 - RUN LIST

On road, off road, round in a big circle or down to the coast, we do the lot. We don't just do it at all speeds and for all levels, we do it Agreeably as well!

Weather forecast said 0 degrees at 9.00 and in the wind it felt like it - fortunately I had three shirts on, one base layer, two pairs of socks, my winter gloves, and of course my Altura cycling winter trousers. If anything i was too hot!!

No sure how many were at CSS - perhaps 50/60 and considering the cold not a bad turn out. A largish TG rolled out at 9.10, a small 19, a big 18, and then


with no sign of Sam I took a small but 'strong 17' of five riders - Brian, Lindsey, Le Nick, Colin and myself. A good workout - no hiding place - we all did our bit pulling things along and really picked things up towards the end. Le Nick won the KoM at Rusper, I won the prime at Lambs Green and Colin (who sat in forever!) got the jump on all of us and won the sprint - I led it out for what seemed like miles and had nothing left but still hung on for 2nd.

We averaged just over 17.5 mph - which given we were a 'strong 17' was just about perfect. Nice! :D

Nice one ! Our group (19's) I think averaged just about 19mph

I saw Sam waiting on the side of A23 on London Road thought he would have been waiting for your group Jon, but it seems he made it in at the pine Cafe by himself?!

Yeah, I'm not sure what happened - he rode with the 16s for a short while (too slow for him) and then tried to bridge the gap to the 17s - ran out of steam on the climb up to Rusper. He did well only about 5 minutes behind us when he reached the cafe. But 5 mins is a long, long unbridgeable gap when you're on your own against five! :D Still it's character building. :D
