The weather at the Bently course on Saturday was dry and warm with a bit of a breeze accross the course - no really easy bits but no grovelling either. For the first time this year I felt I got 'in the zone' and only started to wilt in the last couple of miles, but these were thankfully slightly wind assisted. Having got to the 20 mile mark in 47 mins. I knew a sub hour equivalent was on and so it proved with a time of 1:10:52, an all time PB
. Things got even better when I checked out Mr Woodburn's time (as us older folks do), remarkably a 1:10:52 
.Here's hoping the good weather holds on a bit longer!
Not just some of you "older riders" that look to see how you did against Mr. Woodburn. Beat him in an early season 10 and it was the first time I've pegged him I think. Not exactly a chuckle-monkey (my mum and dad say he never has been 
) but a bloody good rider.
