Great racing in the over 50s and 60s group – Nick got into a break with 6 or 7 riders (all from the over 50s group) and worked really hard, coming in a well deserved 3rd – Alan waited and watched his own age group, who formed a second break – Alan won the sprint, coming in 1st. Graham stayed with the pace with ease. As for me – I got caught out by the start when everyone set off at a brutal pace for the first mile and embarrassingly, I allowed the elastic to snap and got dropped. I joined in again on the next lap when the pace had settled down a bit and stayed on OK from then on. In the younger groups Julian stayed with the pace till the final sprint, despite having been poorly all weekend, and Dylan did really well this week, staying in the bunch and managing a big effort off the front only to be reeled in.
