We had 6 guys line up at the Python road race on sunday which was 130km around a pretty much flat course. The boys who were going to Ireland wanted to sharpen up with a tough race so the plan was to let a small break get 3 minutes before riding it back. Well things didn't really go according to plan as the break went out to 5.45 and there were 8 guys in it! Oh well time to ride it back.
To cut a long story short we brought it back then gordy clipped off and won, but not without a fair bit of effort and its fair to say we were all in the box after the race. I think it took Milly a couple of hours to come round...he was so bad he opted for the salad for dinner.
I did have an interesting moment during the race, while we were riding the front I went back for some bottles for the lads and just as I got the last one on board, my front wheel decided to blow and i snapped a spoke in the middle. Now its not a good look to go back for bottles and never make it back, so i decided to risk not changing the wheels till the bottles were dropped.
So it was bottles to the lads, then a front wheel change before chasing back on and back to the front, all while we had the pink train in full chase mode...that'll fist ya!
