Hillingdon


To the guy who shouted at me

I HATE YOU!

SO, a little context.

I was doing laps of Hillingdon before racing tomorrow, and there is this one guy dressed up in Greenedge style kit, with a Ridley bike.

Earphones in, to drown out the noise his Mavic Cosmic Carbones were making, he comes storming past me in a blur of sweat and legs, only to slow down a bit further on.

So, I pounced on the oppurtunity for some motor pacing style training, as he was quite content to let me sit on his wheel at 40kph for about three or four laps.

An embarrassing truth

Call me old fashioned but I for one like to think that those who absorb the cycling press actually have some kind of respect for the writers. Equally, as a contributor, I like to think that by the time you are invited to write for a publication, such as this one, that you have reached some level of note as a rider or member of the cycling community.

Tactics for Hillingdon

Just wanted to know what people's tactics were for Hillingdon Cycle Circuit.

I normally try and breakaway at the bell, but it hasn't worked yet.

I lack an amazing kick, but can usually weed out the weeklings on the ramp to the line if you're going anticlockwise.

Oh, and tactics for the windy bit if you're going clockwise.

Thanks.
