Coalville Wheelers 25 mile 2up TTT
The course consisted of two laps of a course around
Griffydam, close to the Women’s Team Series race in Coalville later in the year. My teammate was Kath Pyke, a former pro rock
climber and a very strong rider, Kath was happy to guest for Team GB and wear our
team colours. Thanks Kath J
It was a fast start, on a downhill section on a lovely
winding road, this was definitely my favourite part of the course. Time trailing for 25 miles was new to both
Kath and myself so our main aim was to keep the pace steady and make sure we
worked as team. The first half of the
course was flattish and then through a village with speed bumps and cars to
negotiate. The course turned lumpy before heading back along a slight uphill in
a head wind, but then it was onto the second lap and the nice downhill winding
road...but no chance to ease off here! 
We returned to the clubhouse for a good spread of
cakes and hot drinks, all buzzing from the event.
Thanks to all the Wheelers and the Pymm family for the
excellent organisation and looking after all the riders with the tea and cakes
also to Gareth for lending me the Cosmics (who needs brakes hey)!Overall, good fun and a great experience – Kath
