Things got a bit nasty once we reached the DC Del - I foolishly let Andy get a 20m gap coming to the turn, and it took me a whole 30s or more to get back to his wheel at full gas, then it was time for my turn at the front
We did a few extra roundabouts before turning back
I went hard at the front on the climbs to Redhill but what the others behind couldn't see was the grimace of pain on my face
Up Merstham drag I decided to try something else for a change, to go fairly easy most of the way and then hard coming to the top - thing is I'd been left at the front all the way from the lights, and I also went too early. When Andy went past as we were cresting the top I had an incredibly hard 20s getting on!
Funny but I didn't get cold last night, not even my hands - and I'm usually bad there.
Oh and I got a puncture, which with the one I found on my commuter this morning makes four in two day!
