Finsbury Park 10 SPOCO Series - 20th April.

20 Apr 13

Three Wheelers; Brian Evans, Tony Marriott and Spencer Stratford entered this event on a new course. This covered part of the North Road Hardriders course but without any easy bits. Basically it was non-stop up and down and included the climb up Carbonne Hill into Newgate Street and Darnicle Hill up towards Hammond Street. Brian reports ...
The day was warm, sunny and reasonably still.  The course was tough but as I got back into Newgate Street with a mile or two to go I descended quickly to Darnicle Hill. As I rode up hoping the finish line was close, the hill seemed to go on for an eternity. I was close to vomitting as I reached the top but then could not see the finish line. After another 30 seconds it came into view and I was happy to freewheel across it. 
It was, no doubt, the toughest 10 mile TT I have ever done and look forward to the flat of the track racing that starts in Welwyn Garden City on the 26th April.
Tony rode the quickest time of 26:54 which gives an idea of how hard the course was. Spencer finished in 29:30 and Brian in 29:36.
