Easter 3 Day - Stage 2 - Snow Good!

Well, wasn't the snow pretty this morning!?

The Irony of it all is that it wasn't the snow that caused the cancellation of Stage 2 today, but the sheet ice that had covered part of Dunsfold Aerodrome after clear skies over night had allowed temperatures to plunge.

So, having arrived really early with Chris and Lisa to watch them race the support events. We then sat there in the car marvelling at the fluffy white snow flakes whilst waiting for the inevitable cancellation of stage 2. I am really quite frustrated this afternoon, I was really hoping to do well today. The stage was highly likely to result in a bunch sprint, my speciality. Still, I now feel more motivated than ever to put in the performance of a life time tomorow.

I am absolutely determined to ride as hard as I can tomorow to stake my claim on the yellow jersey. And if I can't gain the time I need for that, then perhaps win the stage. Obviously the ideal scenario would be to get both, but I would settle for a top 5 placing. Which combined with the resulting GC placing would grant me enough points to secure promotion up to 2nd category status.

Lets make no mistake, tomorow going to be a big day...
