Time/Position: 33.58 (56th from 334 [1st V50])
The last time this fixture was held was just days before the first Covid lockdown in March 2020: it was a weird occasion and I actually packed it in after one lap (partly because I had done Ras yr Aran the day before). It takes a different industrial loop to the old rural circuit a tad further east. But despite the familiarity of the unglamorous industrial estate, I quite enjoyed this and had a grand old battle with Jez for the category win. It was nip and tuck the whole way until I pulled out a small gap in the last mile. Pace was a little slow, but it was great that the race went ahead after a hard frost, fog, and lengthy cold snap. Currently leading the V50 category after three races, with Buckley comfortably in top team spot in the overall and veterans competitions.
