On Saturday I took part in my first race of the season. After almost 3 months off the bike, some would think making my first race the Scottish Cycling SuP6R Six first round was a bad idea. It was.

About halfway through the first lap I was on the right side of the peleton, as we turned left across a very strong headwind. I pretty much got blown out the back. After a second lap of either being on my own or working with one or two other riders, I called it a day.

Knee held up OK, and it did give me the opportunity to put some decent miles in with Vo on Sunday. Bring on the MTB TT next week…
