SG Winter Series Race 11


Well here we were at the final race for the series and there was only a single point separating the 2 top riders with David just ahead of Caleb. We all knew it was going to come down to the final climb up Aniseed but an early break from Chris N meant that nothing was ever going to be completely certain. I had briefly joined another earlier break attempt with Chris but that had been brought back. Any attempt from me to bridge over was chased down so I took turns with Dean in keeping the pace high which we waited for the climb. Dean and I brought the break back on the last lap at the last possible moment. On the climb I rode from the back of the group and ended up finishing 5th just behind Tom Ashleigh.
I ended up placing 8th overall - the results show me in 11th position but if you actually add up the numbers I finished 8th. Not bad for an old guy.
