>Last night it was the Hounslow and District Wheelers go at hosting the Hillingdon circuit race. The conditions were appropriately hot for the race nearest to midsummer day.
Another even-paced, fast-ish race. I only had one big effort when the bunch split and I bridged back to the front group. I didn’t get to the front once – we were a wide bunch and there was some cavalier riding. Good training, but dispiriting to be so ineffective.
