Viceroys new breed of ‘Super Cyclists’ race at weekends too – ditching the swimming and the running for pure speed, we tracked down Kevin Argent to find out a little more about what cycle racing involves… and much is still a mystery. Although you may have asked, “What distance do you ride Kevin?” or, “How far was your race?” this remains an unknown as he just tells us about the adrenaline rushes and good bits from his weekend race at the Hillingdon/ Surrey closed course summer championships :
‘After last week’s reckless riding from other racers I wanted to make sure I was either in the break away or at least in the very front come the last 300 meters! So this week I stayed in the middle to front of the peloton for most of the hour only dropping back to talk to the other guys from Nunns London and talk “tactics” . When the hour came round I was feeling fresh and fast but found that I lost touch with the lead group so the best I could hope for was 5th? With the 5 lap board out it was all to play for and I sat inside the top 15 and played safe.
