Danny at Rainford

Well, after completely ignoring my own advice of last week i set off towards rainford in similarly windy conditions for another crack at breaking 24mins on my road bike , upon arriving at the route it was apparent the wind direction was going to play a lot more havoc than last weeks solid crosswind with this week tail and head. Hitting over 30mph on the long 'back straight' and passing my minute man who was on a full TT bike gave me some optimism but the last 3 mile into the headwind i just died from going too hard and taking advantage of the tail wind. Ended up finishing with...wait for it...24.13. Yes folks a whole second quicker than last week but with harder weather conditions i cant complain. All in all another good ride. Honours went to a maxgear lad who was on one of wiggo's old bikes, he did a 21.35 i think but considerably slower than last week so ill take my second with good spririt. Danny
