Craig Marshall smashed his personal best for the 62 mile Northern Rock Cyclone at the weekend and sends in this report:

I did the same event last year and it took me 4 hrs 32 mins to complete with 4.02.00 actual cycling. This year, it took me 3 hrs 32 mins to complete with 3 hrs 18 mins actual cycling time. Chopped a whopping 44 mins of my actual cycling time and 1 hour of the time to complete!

It took me just over an hour to do the first 20 miles, almost 2 hours for the middle 28 miles (the hilly part) and only 33 mins to do the last 14 miles! A really pleasing performance if I do say so myself.

If I need any proof that all the training I have done since joining the club (turbo training, chain gang, Saturday runs as well as extra miles) has made a difference then this has to be it.
