RTTC National 25TT Championships. (southport)

Another trip down south started with the journey north to pick up the Highland Institute of sport car. A nice barn conversion was our home for a few days before the event.
Arriving on the Friday with a ride round the course to loosen the legs after sitting in the car was ideal. Saturday morning and we're of out to the course again for a light ride, checking out the round abouts & bends on the single track.
Being last man as defending Champion was nice and also put me in the position to get "real time", time checks on the other riders ahead. Turning onto the main road after a few Miles and Donald shouts my first check - "18 up". The checks keep coming every time i pass him and with 4 or 5 miles to go I'm still "20 up". Feeling the pressure in the last few miles i lost a few seconds but came through to win in 49:44. A special thanks to Donald for his support and belief.
