Buckden Pike English champs. I was a bit worried about my legs after last weekend, but they help up just fine. Didn't take any risks on the initial steep climb and a lot of folk came past me here, but it paid off as I could work my way through the field once the climb started to ease. I felt pretty good by the top and pushed on, lost a couple of places on the first descent, but gained them all back and more on the traverse path before holding my position on the final drop into Buckden. 11th place, well in the mix, probably not a lot more I could have done really. Surprisingly good fun all told.
