Pete Wager reports from E London:
hour plus 5 laps of the Redbridge Cycle circuit - clear blue skies and a
nice little headwind on the finishing climb. London Dynamo had a strong
showing with 6 riders and they set the pace with an early break going
clear of about 8 riders including 3 Dynamos
Not feeling great and still getting back to fitness from my bout of man
flu I was stuck in the 2nd group and only adding what I could to keep
the front group in striking distance, mostly pulling up the climb. With
5 laps to go the front group was down to 4 riders and we were closing in
fast - I decided to let the others do the work and bide my time for the
up hill sprint
Into the last KM and the 4 leaders are about 5 seconds clear and the
sprint was beginning to wind up - pleased to see London Dynamo chasing
even with 1 of their own still in the break!! I left it in the big ring
for the uphill finish and gave it full gas with 200m to go and managed a
reasonable 6th place - a few more metres and it would have been
4th.......next time! All good prep for the Easter 3 Day."
