END OF SEASON REPORT 2021

 So the first full season after Covid, and a purposeful late start in May from myself, deciding to stay in the warmth of Mallorca a little longer ....in my 63rd year now,. and clearly the results state there really is no sign of slowing down. In fact times aside for the moment, that definitive indicator "Power" output has actually crept up, recording 380+ watts for the best 10 miles and 340+ watts for 25 miles. 

Generally very pleased with a typically solid and consistent season although some disappointed with the four Silver National VTTA awards...mitigation certainly in the 50 (borrowed wheel was a mistake) and the 30 (defo under the weather)....but that's simply the bar I set myself...enough waffle - the highlights:

In total 23 races:

  • Won National VTTA 10 mile Champs Silver 
  • Won National VTTA 25 mile Champs Silver
  • Won National VTTA 30 mile Champs Silver
  • Won National VTTA 50 mile Champs Silver

  • Won Welsh National 30 mile Champs Gold - Vets on Standard (4th actual)

  • Won 4 open races (actual)
  • 10 x top 5's
  • 18 x top 10s
