Thanks folks - but if you enter races with fewer and fewer opponents your probability of winning eventually rises to 100% and the level of performance required to win often drops lower as the numbers go down................... I did only beat 3 other women yesterday.
It's not my first 'cross win as I won at Top Barn, Holt Heath last December.
Anyway, here's a photo of me in action yesterday: Steeply up!
The race was at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratories near Harwell and the course was pretty unique as it was based on a massive mound of chalk which was excavated for a new facility on the site. There's a photo here of the whole site with the chalk mound in the foreground. It was a really good course with loads of steep climbing and virtually the whole course was on a camber on one side or other of the mound.

Well, I once timed an event in which Brian was the only competitor, and I'm pretty sure he still managed to be the slowest.Missiles wrote:Thanks folks - but if you enter races with fewer and fewer opponents your probability of winning eventually rises to 100%.
More importantly: what's that circular thing in the background? Are RAL planning to evacuate their key personnel to the gamma quadrant in the event of insurrection?Missiles wrote:There's a photo here of the whole site with the chalk mound in the foreground.
Well done Ruth, great picture as well. More institutions and facilities could incorporate cycle circuits or tracks especially cyclo-cross. I tried to get a road circuit build into the new QE but although the architect and his son were keen racing cyclists, it was considered but wasn't possible - not least because of 24/7 emergency access.
On this occasion George has it wrong because if Brian obeyed the laws of quantum physics, by observing him, George would have broken his wave particle duality and therefore prevented him being both fastest and slowest at the same time.jonnyri wrote:<I suppose Brian's TT performance on the night I referred to was a sort of demonstration of quantum theory.>
Sometimes George so much of what you say makes perfect sense
I'll get my coat..... Well done any way Ruth.
