Today was one of those days that i’ll never forget. I’m not exaggerating when i say that either. It was the Preston Cycling GP today, and i was obviously going to go and have a watch.

Every year they open the circuit up for a couple of laps for anyone to have a ride around and this year was no different. The first lap i was sat in a group of people who were just riding around REALLLLLLY slowly, and i managed to mingle my way through to the front of the group.

As we crossed the start/finish straight i thought i’d just go for it and have a blast… so i did! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but i did leave them quite a way behind (i wasn’t really expecting a couple of penny farthings to overtake if i’m honest).

Riding a closed circuit is so much fun! It’s definitely something i want to experience for real! The guys and girls who ride semi-pro/professionally have some immense power to hand whenever they need it, which is awesome to watch when you’re literally about a foot away from them!
