52.660km with 1323m climb in 4:15:34. Nice day with sun out here in the east. Glen Tanar, Firmounth road over to Tarfside then back over on the track contouring around mount keen back down Glen Tamar.

A lot harder than expecting climbed a lot of the time on the verge of what I could ride made for a tough outing. Also forgot the fruit I ment to take so only sweets to eat. Upper back shoulders suffering by the end. At last got the tail wind back down Glen Tamar at end. Would be a lot slower in places if not so dry.

Need a day off.

5.802km with 79m climb in 0:36:20. British relays m50 first leg. as expected struggled with pace. Ok around first loop leading my gaffale at 3. Slightly different straighter route on long 4 but confusingly missed at end 30s. Sealed to ne out in front at 5 though 6 7 8 all ok but struggling up hills. Wobbled into 9 other people in site but not going for mine. 30 s. South at 10 punched another but realised 30s. Ok through spectator loop.

A bit disappointed to be 8th and 4 mins down but not so far off syo and Fvo.

mark looked to have a flyer coming in 2nd sending Clive out to chase one Loc man. Very confident as Clive passed spectator with a minute lead. Sadly the gaffeling from the spectator was very uneven mark had had the short leg and Clive had long like me but Syo and Fvo had the short and were well in by the time Clive apeared having never seen them. 3rd.

British champs. Trying to avoid errors and be safe as no way I cam push hard with the cold. Follow fence for 1 making it a dog leg. Back early to fence for 2 seemed a long way hesitant a bit. 3 slightly right. 20s. 4 chasing someone fast 5 off bigger clearing to south up to path for 6 slightly to far 20s. 7 clearing made easy attacking. 8 followed clearing down then wall at end. 9 stayed on paths an made dog leg. 10 ok getting in need of a drink but safely no drinks point. 11 did not see Amy option but right on long leg gentle up hill path run was hard. 12 a bit right 10s 13 ok longer 14 decided to just go straight over hill at least a good attackpoint but a big uphill walk climbing 100m. Tiring now and a scrappy line to 15 but there was a big feature just beyond so just kept going and good in the end. Getting stuck in green at 16 should of dog legged it to road 20s.

8th 8 mins off Dave peel not up to that pace without cold maybe top 5? But of course errors more likely with more speed. Fairly pleased considering.
