Feeling fresh after Dunsfold last night and looking forward to Portsmouth tonight. Will leave work at 4pm and hopefully make the 3/4 race at 18:45. After speaking to Thatch it sounds like a speed fest down there, 90 laps or so of the Mountbatten Centre circuit.

18:45pm - Race - DH Cyclesport Circuits (Portsmouth) #7/15

My first outing to Portsmouth was guaranteed to be tough workout with a strong turnout from Fareham Wheelers. I narrowly missed out on a break which went on the first lap, being chased down by a quickly organised bunch.

As the successful break contained a Fareham rider, they proceeded to distrupt chase, repeatedly breaking the flow of whatever organised attempts were made by a coalition of solo riders. Attacks were nulified and the bunch speed controlled in a great display of team riding by Fareham Wheelers.

I had a strong attack 3 laps from the end, gaining a gap but soon being reeled in by the chasing Fareham riders. On the bell lap I had an optimistic all out effort, unfortunately being swallowed up 50m from the line.
