The first event of 2015 saw an expectant few wait for a windy ride back on the usual course (after last year’s disruptive road works strewn events!).
Unfortunately, it was noted on the night that more traffic lights had appeared on Middlewich Road, in Lower Peover. That put paid to that.
Not to be denied a race, we switched to the 2 lap course and 7 sets of riders set of. As said, it was a gusty night with headwinds on the sections of the course that you really didn’t need. Overall, times reflect the heavy night.
A good start nonetheless, and good to stretch the legs and get the heart rate up!
Next week: The handicap event before the real action of the Guardian Cup starts… 🙂
