Lammermuirs race 2/3/4
felt fine on the laps of the Gifford circuit there were a couple of serious digs to keep up with on the firast 2 laps. By the 4th I could feel a bit of fatigue.
OK on the way up towards the Rigg then tailed off the back on the Rigg climb itself - a bit disappointed by this but there were a few other riders around so I tried to get us working together. 2 or 3 did and we were able to catch some other riders on the early sections across the moors. Skipped my rear wheel hard on the fast sharp left hander but stayed upright thankfully. dug in on the second long climb and nearly caught Greame Cross but he appeared to get a draft off the first aid car, which pissed me off. felt tired on the road out of Longformacus and didn't have much left for the trek back north to the finish.
Enjoyed it though, a great race to finish the road season. 34th cf 33rd last year, but I was not really in any kind of form this year.
