Top of Dover Hill
I turned upto a race, 24 hours too early today. For some reason, I thought race was on Saturday. I drove past the hq 3 times, because I was looking for cyclists in the vicinity. Because I didn’t see any, I thought it must be somewhere else. I was getting quite late by the time I finally arrived. When no one was in the car park, I thought Hmm, I must have the wrong day. Indeed, I looked at the start sheet and there it was – Sunday not Saturday!
I made so many small arrangements and plans for the race that I never thought I could get the day wrong!

O well, I got to ride the course beforehand like a true professional. It was two hill climbs – Dover Hill and Saintbury Hill. Thankfully, the race was only 1 hour drive from Oxford. Tomorrow morning I will go back – taking care not to leave my bike at home or something like that.
Cheers Dave, checked out your blog.
It was hard in rain!
Hi, Great web page.. I’m also hill climbing in the same event on Sunday, I’m looking forward to racing against some top hill climbers like yourself and a certain Mr. J. Dobbin… I’ll come nowhere I’m sure, but it’ll be interesting all the same.. Hope you have a good ride.. No. 46 Dave Preece.
