National Road Race Championships - the results

By David Arthur

The National Championships have taken place all over the world last weekend, with the British round held around the town of Beverly in East Yorkshire. The Hull Thursday Road Club promoted the weekend of racing, with the Women's race on Saturday.

Women's race - 101km

The consistently fast Nicole Cooke has won the previous six National Championships, and nobody could prevent her from a seventh consecutive win. A strong attack on the last lap with nobody with the legs to give chase, gave her enough of a lead to take the win. It was down to Lorna Webb and Joanna Rowsell to battle out for second, Webb just having the edge to take the second podium spot.

Following on from Gayles thread about back pain on the roadbike. Sorry long...

Having dusted off the roadbike and had a couple of spins on it it is clear to me that I need to make some adjustments to my position. My commute is one hour in and a longer route of approx 1hour 20 home, whihc is definitely ong enough to develop some fidgets. I only rode it for a couple of weeks last year and faffed around with things quite a bit including turning the stem over.
