Over the Easter weekend I competed in the Caesarean Cycling Club Jersey five day stage race that was later shortened to a four day race due to bad weather…I managed to get third overall and won the last road race stage with a lone break away with one six mile lap to go!

The race is a great event and I will probably making the trip next year. If anyone from the club fancies a bit of early season training then I can thoroughly recommend this event. Flights are pretty cheap from Doncaster and accommodation in Jersey could be easily sorted out. What you get is a well run event every morning and then time in the afternoon for more riding (should you need more training!!!) or just a bit of R&R.
Jersey is a great place to cycle with a maximum speed limit of 40mph throughout the island and truly courteous drivers everywhere.

Anyway, if anyone fancies the trip next year email me at doonbar@gmail.com.
