Surrey League, Longcross Road Race, cat 2/3, 25 laps 80km

The legendary Longcross test track, formerly owned and operated of the Ministry of Defence and today site of major film studios. As ever, windy conditions and even more dilapidated concrete surface. The race was rather fast, with plenty of activity, all together rather enjoyable compared to last week's Dunsfold race.
Average speed was just below 42km/h no breakaway stuck so we ended in a massive bunch of 90 riders sprinting for glory. I placed 4th with a bike length behind the winner. Happy with the result, as at my age and condition amongst such fresh and fast competition, there is not much more to hope for....
