Gareth and Linda stretch out their leads but there’s still plenty to play for after the second of five races. Results are up
(and more pics are here). Report from Mike Scotney:
They say a picture says a thousand words, a quick flick through yesterday’s photos and two scream out loud and clear – lung busting! This really was tough, with the ‘bonus’ hill to complete, but with an idyllic rural setting there was a definite sense of fulfilment and enjoyment and a great spirit. Well done to everyone with some really great efforts and a big thank you to Mark and Sharon for sorting out the organisation on the night. Bring on the X-Country …….”

Can’t believe I’m missing out this year – looks like a great atmosphere from the photos. Plan to catch up with everyone on Friday.
My legs aren’t too bad. Feel better after my ice bath. Pity the kids used all the hot water though so had to have a cold shower as well!!
My legs are hurting too but I am looking on the bright side – we have done over half of the weeks miles now.
I am going to use the “the glass is half full” mentality for the rest of the week now to get through
Chris – are you sure of that! I’m suffering in my legs today, could be a real ‘effort’ later …. Must practice those hills in the future
Can’t think of a better way to have spent my birthday!
