Results of the North Bucks Road Club New Year's Day '10', 2010

A bright but very cold morning (-4 degrees according to some) greeted five intrepid rider who showed up for the club's first event of 2010.  Despite warnings of ice on the course, all five made it to the start line.  Actually, once underway, I found the temperatures pretty much OK, other than for the first few minutes I couldn't see for my watering eyes!  In the event itself, I only saw one small ice patch actually on the road, though I did take the corners rather carefully just in case.

The riders seemed to be outnumbered by the combined body of helpers (many thanks to Tony, Bryan and Gilbert) and spectators.

Quite pleased - I went 47 secs quicker than last year, despite recent illness...now I wish I'd ridden with the disc!
It was quite a nice morning, once one had recovered from the first gulps of freezing cold air!

Well I think the riders were very brave! Well done to all of them. I had planned to ride also, but didn't dare with the temperatures so low.

Just checked the BBC forecast (7am, 30/12/09) - predicts a sunny cold day for Friday. But I expect this will change.
