Ride - Leeds Fixed Criterium

A couple of guys from york heading over on sunday for the race in leeds and managed to place 4th inspite of the now legendary hangovers. I meanwhile was resting in bed following some lovely food poisoning, envious. Good fun had by all, and the Leeds lads were meant to have provided a friendly welcome and some stiff competition!
