LINCOLN WHEELERS 10 - Saturday 22nd May 2021

11th Overall ; 2nd Vet; 1st on Standard

In my pursuit of getting those first few races under my belt, when for some reason I know I won't perform at full gas, and will forget about them by mid season....but needs to be done. Great setting on the escarpment that runs N-S not that far from Lincoln, great views on the westerly facing flatlands! 

Anyhow, coolish day, and started raining just as I set off, briefly...weird one, just could not get the power up for the first 5 miles (345W) but on the return, whacked it up to 358W...mmm very strange, hoped for a sub 21 mins in this semi SPOCO rolling course but finished with 21-17, in 11th spot overall, 2nd vet but first easily on standard.

Interesting observation recently has been the number of very young talented riders - I mean very young, assume due to COVIS and currently little road racing, their teams are sending them to TT events...this was won by a 16 year old in a course record, but with hardly anyone above 25 in the first 8 or so. Good for the future! 💪🚴‍♂️
