I had been expecting a tough ride this week, thinking Paul, George, Richard, Rob & Dan would all want to be stretching their legs prior to racing next weekend. What the heck, I took my race bike - any excuse

I arrived at CSS a little late only to hear Capt'n Jon yell the training group had just left and were on the DC, Andy W, Darren and myself didn't realise they were heading to Nonnas for a photo shoot so we shot off at a hard pace on the CR to try catch the A group up!
Shame you missed us George, we could have done with a little more firepower in the A's, with just 4 of us chasing about 8 B's. We came across the B's on a group puncture fixing mission. No sooner than Nick's had been mended and people were rolling out when Ant realised he'd also got a flat. We'd decided to wait - well there wasn't going to be a queue at the cafe, was there?!
Half a dozen working, doing 30-60s turns on the front before peeling off - except Serge who seemed to like it out
on point (for a few turns at least
). Just 2 of us arrived at the lay-by, the rest seemed to prefer a short-cut. Lee apparently tried to take an even more direct route across the fields
(hope you're OK Lee).
2 man through & off, with Paul easily taking the win - going well just in time for Dunsfold next week.
Thanks to Jon for taking the majority elsewhere. No queue for tea or the loo
When are you going again?
What with the photo-shoot & puncture-fest, I headed straight home with Ant & the Shadow, leaving the rest to get beaten up by George & Paul over Box Hill.
P.S. We must have upset the traffic light fairy somewhere along the way as virtually every single set was on red
