Rain all morning but it stopped around 1 o'clock so I threw the old bike in the boot (didn't want to get the new one wet) and went to see what it was like at Bently. By the time I got there the roads were just beginning to dry but the wind had got up to a stiff and blustery westerly. I cut things a bit fine and only just got ready with about 12 minutes to spare so no warm up. It was the usual hard out and fast back but I wasn't really focussed on the ride and ended up with a mediocre 24:15. Terry was also down to ride but wisely stayed at home as did about two thirds of the field.
