My previous effort at the Crawley evening 10 resulted in my chain coming off at the first turn which cost me time and all of my concentration. Not a good start. Things didn’t get better either; I had completely lost my bearings and turned at the wrong roundabout for the home leg. Time: Null and void. ‘Brilliant’ I thought, ‘Great way to show off the East Grinstead colours’.
So when I tried again the next week I had Steve, Mike and Ben all reminding me of the course and how many roundabouts I needed to pass before the journey back.
The weather was warm and fairly still and with a 7:45 start there was enough time for a really good turn out; 25 in all with me at number 21. So there was plenty of time for a good warm up and further reminders of the course.
Both Ben and I were sniffing around Mike for a shot of his spare aero helmet which thankfully Ben allowed me dibs on and I think it may have made a difference.
We all managed to get round the course in pretty good times, especially Steve who won the event over all and a PB from Ben made sure that he went home with a spring in his step too, so all in all a pretty good night for the visitors from EG.
