Me, Beverly and Alastair managed 10 laps (14 miles) tonight in the pouring rain. If that was not bad enough the road was flooded by the Sainsbury roundabout. But we managed to get a good bit of through and off going with a bit of a burn on the last couple of laps. More fun next week, see you then.

Last night me and Kevin did a couple of laps of the above circuit. The back straight just past the Sainsbury roundabout is still flooded. The low surface water surrounding it can turn into black ice in this weather. Add to this the continued presence of HGV's lead me and Kevin to conclude that it was too dangerous for training.
We cycled over to the A77 and rode up to the first roundabout and back. The road was well gritted and very quiet. We were able to cycle two abreast the whole way. The course is lit at most junctions and roundabouts. You will need good lights for training here. So how about moving the training over to the A77, meeting at the Mall at 7pm? Thoughts folks?
