National Championships - Milton Keynes Town Centre

Time for me to stand on a chair and celebrate the awesome riders from the KVRT and KVK.  National champs, Toni fought hard to stay with the bunch and sprinted for xxth place (expertly spotted by Hope), Ellen stayed in the chase group and comfortably held her own, got pulled x laps before the end and sprinted for xx place.  Pol had a shocker (still overheating from a full day in the sunshine), managed about 30 mins before she was pulled off and has gained a new respect for the power of sun burn ;-).  Despite not being on top form, Hope rode well, held her own and finished behind the bunch but far from last. #awesomeriders.  As usual, loved watching them, getting ready, riding behind the car and racing for their lives. Looking forward to next year already!

Happy but tired, post race.
