Cheers Andy. Once I got into the lead group I was pretty confident I could stick with it up the first KoM. My climbing is better than my flat speed. Unfortunately I didn't realise until we hit that KoM that the guys I was with were the B sandbaggers so I had to let them go and pick up the C riders behind (which @mjd1988 came across with) - no point me trying to stick with the B's up the KoM I'd have just blown up!
Once our group settled down it was fairly relaxed - even the sprint wasn't too manic and the climbs were sensible paced.
Looks like you and Chris also had good rides
I got dropped by my group which must have had alot of B's on the last climb, I nearly blew up but just managed to gather myself when Chris's group caugh me. We rode together to the finish.
I was trying to show Tommy how to sprint for an old bloke, guess he had gone to bed early being a nipper
