First Monday nighter in a long while for me last night.
The weather was good and I decided to have a good ride up to the start, do the ride, and ride back to Holmes Chap.
I was nicely warmed up from the ride up Pexhill from Holmes Chapel when I met up with the group, they had just started.
Good steady pace and good discipline was maintained.
The road surfaces are absolutely horrendous though! I hit a pothole really hard on the run in to Alderley Edge and I could feel that the rim on my rear wheel had been flat spotted

Still, carried on regardless, when we parted ways at broken cross I absolutely caned it home as I was feeling good.
The result -
My average power for the 2hrs 45 minutes was more than I could sustain for an hour 3 months ago.
The 3 Races have clearly had a benefit to my fitness/speed.
I need a new rim... Took the wheel to Rick Green's today and it couldn't be trued.
