Speed along the main road in the bunch on both laps with a tail wind was absolutely savage!! Saw but managed to avoid the crash at the end thankfully, hope those who came down are ok. Finished about 30th maybe, at a push:)

wirelessdude01 wrote: » I'm no way interested just remember you saying on here before that you were going to mark your spins as private on strava as you didn't want your club mates knowing what you were doing. But now your saying that your bike computer doesn't work with strava but just a little confusing

dahat wrote: » Agreed, it split on Coligan twice but still.too many left in the bunch, a nasty headwind on the N72 didn't help the gallop either as the whole field just sat up. Everyone just waits for the Sprint as you said and some are just in the way at the business end. Lads swarming all over the road with no regard for traffic that may arrive on narrow roads is a problem.
