Close but no Cigar

Colin writes of mid-week circuit race near miss as he takes a podium spot on the penultimate race of the Mallory Park season

2nd place my best finish ever here and I managed to fool all the sprinters with a break away with two and a half laps to go at last. I had to cede the win to a lad from the Coventry RC who managed to get with me when i attacked down the back straight into a fierce headwind. My legs were still hurting from the 100 at the weekend, I was in no shape for any heroics after a solo mid race break of 5 laps when the bunch hung me out to dry in the blustery conditions. So i sat in waiting for my opportunity and it came just as a duo were pulled back and the bunch was anticipating a mass dash for the line
