Alice Update 1.6 - Stage 5- Time Trial

Well I can safely say I put in 100%. From the gun, to the finish, flat out the whole way! With 3 other fast boys behind me the main aim was not to get caught. We were set of in 30 second intervals, with Ben Henderson ahead of me my main aim was to catch him and ride together and make sure he didn't get any time on me in the GC. I caught him early on, and felt good, so I pushed it hard the whole way. Around the halfway mark I could see the boys coming, with English leading the charge. I thought if he drags them all across to me that would undo all my hard work, so I pushed harder. With 2 kms to go there was no sign of head, I put my head down and 'pinned' it all the way home. Unfortunately my time was only good enough for 2nd, he posted a time better by about 40sec. Still a great result. Tonight we race the same course, just as a mass start, in the dark, with AYUPS of course!
