Transwales day 2
Not one to miss an opportunity to get my mugshot in the rag, I lined up in pole at the start in my birth town of Knighton. I recognised the reporter/photographer too! A chat with the mayor and insistence that me and not so local monker lead the event off! RESULT! not only that but knowing how steep the first climb up panpunton is I got right to the front and led up it. On the trails along the top of kinsley wood and down the other side I dropped my only companion up the climb. I didn’t see a soul for the 10 mile, the special test fo the day. This descended part of bucknell dh track and climbed back to the start. By the time I’d finished the others were lining up. I waited to here some other times for comparison, 1 second down on matt page ain’t too shabby ehh?!
The remaining ride once again took in great climbs & descents with fantastic scenery! Of all the English counties transwales could go into, Shropshire has to be the most favourable! Podiums at 17:30 so will see positions for today’s special test!
