Keith didn't start, don't know if he entered in the end or not.

We got there about 6.30 for a 7 start. So managed a whole 10 minute warmup by time we were ready!

Derek got dropped from main bunch after a few miles during some ups and downs, but hes only been riding on holiday last couple of weeks.

Me & Ricky then got pumped out during a fast slightly downhill section into a cross wind, as at the commissaires briefing he had told us that anyone crossing white-lines would be instantly dq'ed.

He had been beeping his horn at anybody trying it to move up bunch in first few miles, but when it hit this fast bit into crosswinds, the bunch just all moved right across onto other side of the road. I stayed in middle of road, so lost all the wheels, game over. Think same happened to Ricky, he was slightly further back in bunch and had went to move over to right, but had the commissaire beeping away at him.

Needless to say, nobody got disqualified! Just went round with a group of 5 of us who had got blown out at that point until the end. Don't know how many finished or where we were, as they haven't put up full results anywhere as of yet.
