Postcard from a Weekend Away
When a colleague found out what I was up to this coming weekend, her comment was “you are going to freeze”.
Well, maybe if you only looked at the data such as predicted low temperature and high winds for the Tamworth region. However, this is cycling, this is racing more precisely, you do not choose the conditions, you simply prepare for them, and I like to mention the Swiss approach whilst at it: “there is no such thing as bad weather, but there is bad equipment”. And you surely needed to be ready with two days of 100 plus kms of racing in a row: a Handicap race in honour of a young rider tragically killed and a Scratch race.
