Bicester Millennium CC Silverstone 9-up team time trial

Post by laurence_cooley » 10 Jun 2016 23:34

Jess Rhodes-Jones, Clare Grice, Xav Disley, John Hunt, James Tate, Paul Watkins, Ian Taylor, Martin Davis and I did the Bicester Millennium CC's 9-up team time trial at Silverstone tonight. The course was three laps of the GP circuit, which is a total of 11 miles, with only road bikes and no aero bars allowed. Despite a near-disaster on the start line (I still don't really know what happened, other than that my push-off man didn't let go of my seatpost when we got the signal to go!), we finished 3rd in the mixed team category in a time of 24:12 (which was apparently faster than the winning time last year). A really good event, and thanks to Jess for organising the team and Xav for working out the tactics. We needed five to finish including at least two of the men and both women, but in the end we finished as a nine. Great riding, guys. Pictures hopefully to follow.
