Friday Training

A 2 hour training session this afternoon for 3 of the team together with the Stn Cdr. Blustery conditions, but as usual Dunc was making the pace brisk early on.  A few decent lumps in the first 10 miles warmed the legs up before we picked up the pace again and dropped down the hill to Masham at speed.

The Boss had several mechanicals on the way out of Masham on his gucci Kuoto machine, but nothing that couldn't be fixed!  Always amusing to watch 4 blokes adjust a front mech......

Didn't take long to get through the Tanfields and then onto Wath before making the turn for home.  Down wind component and some good teamwork kept the pace up and the final stretch hove into view pretty sharpish.  Bit of a combo of roads today from utterly rubbish surface with craters to nicely smooth freshly laid tarmac.  Lets hope for lots of the latter during the main event.  Good effort from Stevie P today as he's got a lot of miles in his legs this week.  The old machine just keeps on rolling!

Early night tonight, as personally, I've got plenty of miles to smash out tomorrow, although it might need a spot of clever routing as the wind is forecast to be blowing a good one by lunchtime.....
