The Guildford bike race went really well for the team. Three of us road together to win the race, but it is a tough, hilly course and it really hurt.

It has been a bit quiet lately. But I was out today in the rain and morale is high for the next few weeks.

It's a really busy day here in Hampshire today. Got my second Covid vaccine yesterday which is great and takes the pressure off in terms of travelling for the next few races. Next big race is supposed to be the Limburg.
