Really enjoyed it today - the ice added a little bit of excitment too!
Greg was the only one who could hang with Jonny Brownlee & his buddy, I got shelled out, but luckily got back on when they were held up in traffic
Big Mike - just gets stronger..... you did a lot of work on the front today - Very worrying!

Wilbers, Nudders & I quickly realised we'd made the wrong move sneaking off early - straight into a very cold head wind! The group caught us at Barden Towers where there was the usual confusion on the route, but most went the main road way to Burnsall -- then it was all out hell! I some how clung on through Hebden and Grassington hiding at the back, then we turned for Threshfield from Kettlewell with a tail wind - it was very fast, about 30 riders singled out doing 35mph!! The Burnsall climb was the final straw for me, but well done to Greg, Simon K & BM, fantastic effort. Can't wait for the chain gang tonight! mmmmm!
