North Bucks Road Club Hardriders

A new event for the team - new rider Richard Wood was our sole representative yesterday at this local early season lung-opener.

a  big effort up Church Lane

Two laps of a 10 mile circuit including the climb of Church Lane in Bow Brickhill mean some judicious dosing of effort is called for. As the course record holder, Richard was well placed to do just that, but he had to settle for second place to long-time training partner and ex TMG-er Doug Coleman of CC Luton.

Doug came in with 50:25 with Richard at 51:08. Richard Golding of Equipe Velo was just over a minute back at 52:17

"I'm not too unhappy with that," was Richard's conclusion. "I'm really just getting into some serious training, so there's room for progress."
