So close, yet so far!

9 circuits of box hill, and with thousands of others we saw team GB grab the race by he scruff of it's neck and pull a 5 minute lead for the breakaway back to a little less than 1 minute.

It's a real shame that all the other teams were so scared of Cav that they didn't bother playing ball until it was too late. Looking at the photos on the BBC, I think Cav didn't really try for the bunch sprint, he knew it wasn't worth the energy.

We did cycle some of the course, but security, pedestrians and general jobs-worths got in the way.....I think if they had charged £10 for everyone who wanted to ride the course today, they could have paid for the Olympic overdraft!

Ladies race tomorrow, let's hope that they show the blokes how it is done!

PS. K is hooked, no kindle required as we watched them come around and around!
