Maldon & District Hilly 20

Postby Jon H » Sun Mar 01, 2009 4:57 pm

Well, they say hilly, but it's mostly draggy with one short sharp hill at the start and another towards the end which are the only bits that need any out of the saddle on the little ring shenanigans.

Anyway, this has been my season opener since 2006, and I've gone quicker each year except today, when I was 16 seconds slower than last year. Oh well, considering my winter training regime of commuting and boozing I'm fairly happy with that. I thought I was going to do a lot worse. There were 62 on the start sheet; most started and finished and I think I got thirteenth, so some reasonable SPOCO points in the bag.

Next up - Hainault hilly next week which is longer and hillier, and I've just sent off my entries for the SCCU 21, 10 & 25.
Woohoo, I just love the buzz of the racing season.

Let's hope there's not many business jaunts abroad this year Jon to slow you down :)

Oh Jon I'll start charging if you're going to follow my training regime :P .

Nice to here that so many started as there were quite a few DNS at the SCA one I think and not a particularly big field to start with, shame as it's a much better course than some which get better turnouts.

Good start so you'll have to keep the beer intake down tonight now :lol: .
