TW Heslington 17th April

With a large number of riders away at Benchmark and a strong wind there was a very small A grade which was combined with B to make one race.  On the way out to Heslington Cameron and Tom N broke away.  I kept the pace up on the first circuit of Heslington in order to keep them in range but along River Tce Rob bridged across which meant I had to as well.  A number of the B grade riders caught up again in the head wind but another strong pull up the valley saw them drop off for good.  Quite how Rob and I managed to lose the race remains to be seen but I guess we aren't the most aggressive riders.  It came down to a sprint which was always going to be our week point.  I thought I was in a good position but a sudden gust of wind left me far too over geared.  Anyway I ended up 3rd.
