84th in2.35.55
Because Lloyd has won the Championship, I reckon that deserves a championship race being held on the Isle of Man, British or English!!
The first ascent of the day

Does anyone know how many started?
First time for me on the course and I had a nightmare, but enjoyed it all the same :) I started well and felt comfortable up the first couple of climbs. But after check point 2 I started to slip and slide all over and quickly lost concentration and became quite disheartened as I literally slipped back through the feild, im sure everyone will have passed me at some stage in the race as I spent a lot of time on the ground soaking up the stunning veiws!!! From somewhere I managed to get back into a great rhythm coming up out of Bowderdale beck ( it must have been that bunch of foreign supporters cheering everyone on ) but then like a fool went a bit astray contouring round the calf and I couldve cried haha I had gave up completely at that point and jogged back. A great experience and thanks to those who put the race on and especially the marshalls. The times of the leaders are unreal, hats off to them :)
