)Training Approach and Philosophy: No clear philosophy, but hills and distance seem to feature at the expense of speed and sprinting
My Best Races(RR or TT): Hillingdon ACC race in September, first lap when still in contention
My Worst Race (RR or TT): Hillingdon ACC race in September being lapped for the fifth time by Adam and Sylv, as Sean too disappeared in the distance like the little white dot on an old telly
Best Long Rides or Sportivs: Dragon Ride and the club Brighton run
Worst Ride/Sportiv Of the Year: SWRC in May as I winced round with agonising hot foot
Best ACC Road Racer: Sylv
Best ACC TT Racer: Don't know
Best Sportive Rider: Hal
Most Impressive Riding I witnessed: Bloke on a unicycle doing the Dragon Ride. A different bloke on a unicycle descending Leith Hill. My eleven year old daughter accelerating away from me up the approach to Leith Hill and then descending some rooty drop offs that I'd forgotten to warn her about (that'll teach her to try and drop Daddy
)Most Improved Racers: AJ at Hillingdon? Though I don't know what he was like before.
Favorite pro riders: Armstrong and Hatch
Most improved Club Riders: Difficult for me to say as I drift from group to group
Best Forum Bits: Hal's LEJOG report. CR reports always good. Marco's rants - the only bit of the forum that has me googling Biology and Stats A Level study notes to formulate a reply.
Racing/Riding could HAVE / should HAVE: Should have entered more mtb events, should have trained more for Dragon.
Stand out quotes: Huw to me at Hillingdon - "Last lap". Sweetest thing I ever heard on a bike
ACC's 'Blingiest' Rider: Hard to say, but perhaps Sean when all those photographed parts he's been treating us to over the months make it onto his bike.
Kings and Queens of Pain: Two Kings, Hal for his LEJOG in 5 days, followed by Sylv for his Cristalp performance.
