Big up to the 2-up!

4 Thorpers (Alastair, Andy, John amd myslef) took ourselves off over the hill to ride the Nova 2-up Team Time Trial on what turned out to be a rather pleasent day with a slight southerly breeze and mild temperatures. (Thanks goodness cos I forgot my base layer so had to make do with just my skinsuit).

The course, at Congleton in Cheshire, is a wonderful rollercoaster of a beast that you ride twice. Some sections had so much mud on the road it was like cyclo-cross timetrialling!!!

Al and John posted a great time of 1:06:15′ being 3 minutes faster than Andy and my time from last year shows what a great performance it was. Andy and me went around exactly 3 minutes faster with a 1:03:15. Change overs were slick and smooth and the pace was relentless, we were both very pleased how it worked. Just got to hope that next weeks 3 up over at Hull will be as slick.

 Allez le Verts.
