So you think 17.5 MPH is a good or bad pace for a group 2er in 19mph winds ?

HI i think that anyone who cannot beat 20mph racing is either very unfit, or just not cut out to race.(remember thats pre WW2 speeds).but if you want to race below 20mph that's ok, but you may as well go out on the GR2 club ride and save your money.!!..17,5 mph is the average speed for a club run wind or no wind, remember if your nose is into it, your back has it when you turn round...simply put..you do what you want,i am the "fool on the hil". just looking on..see ya soon Geoff........... :evil:

Well that sounds like a challenge, the only question is where and when you and Ash will meet?

Just noticed on page 19 of last week's cycling weekly a small mention of Cambourne's very own Ian Turner and St.Neots CC.
