A busy and very good day for Iceni Velo. Today we held our 2012 road race on the short sharp circuit around Stoke Holy Cross which finishes at the top of the renowned Skeets hill.
I wasn’t particularly concerned about this as I had no great aspirations for the race so I rolled up to the start, took of my jacket and arm warmers and leant over the barriers to get a good luck hug from daughter #2 – it was at this point that the exceptionally loud starting pistol went and everyone apart from me started racing!
Broome Heath was pretty crisp at 7.00am on Sunday morning and – thanks to race organiser, Shaun Aldous, 5 volunteers, 140 white stakes and 4km of course tape – was slowly being transformed from a dog walkers mecca to a cyclo cross race course.
It was really touch and go as to whether i’d ride this event – it was a bit of an unknown, but from what i’d seen on the old internet, it looked like a fun evening – i’d play it by ear.
