Team
Shuttvr.com had its first outing last Sunday inthe Hampshire Hilly 100. I went down to ride with our southern correspondant Peter `The Swan` Swann, in what turned out to be a cracking event. Fast start, puncture after 15 miles, big effort to get back on, blowing at 55, recovering at 65 then massive effort to make up the lost time on `The Swan` Who was instructed to "leave me to my fate". All on suprisingly hilly route, I know its called the Hilly 100 but I`m from Yorkshire and you know what we are like!
A top 10% place was talked of, but due to the puncture 8 mins were lost and this put me top 13% with the `The Swan` 10.5% I think. Minus the 8 mins and wed have been in our desired finishing positions. Still not bad for an old bloke and a bird and Gold standard was acheived.
We rode in team kit, Shutt No 5 White, which made us feel like a team, if nothing else, at least.
