it was the last prem cal of the season on sunday up in pendle and part of my plan for the day was to not cover any of the early moves. I had no problem with this and as the flag was pulled from the lead car i thought i had made a smart decision as 200m after the neutral was over we were climbing a 1500m climb. This is just what you needed after rolling a stupidly slow 7km neutral zone in the pissing rain...but that climb is another story as i actually made it over in better shape than others who were chasing over the top.
Anyway there was about 10km between that and the main climb of the circuit which was 4km climb and somehow in a moment of confusion I ended up on the wrong side of a long stretch of road barriers. I must have looked rather silly with 100 riders on one side of the road and me on the other but i got the last laugh. After about 400m the road came back together at a roundabout, which i had the short side around, and when someone laid it down in the roundabout when i rejoined i was in the front group of 16. Nice work but very much not the plan!
that's about the only highlight of the race unfortunatly.
