Peter Young Memorial Road Race: A story in graphs
Since launching this blog into the dark murky mists of the world wide web, I have so far been pleased by the lukewarm manner in which it has been embraced by the cycling community. Faint praise, indifference, and unhelpful criticism has literally trickled in. But one comment that keeps arising time and again is the lack of hard statistical data published on the site. Where are the graphs? Where are the charts?
So in an attempt to rectify this inadequacy, I have compiled a comprehensive report on my recent ‘performance’ in the Peter Young Memorial Road Race. Being an E/1/2/3, 135km affair my goal was for mediocrity, and as you can tell by the following statistical data, that’s exactly what I achieved.

March 31, 2010As ever Damien – superb!! Inspired from the Sunday Mail Live Magazine – stats in pictures feature they do each week? I know it won’t be as I don’t imagine you go near it! Well done again.

March 31, 2010You forgot “Just signed up for the next one” right after “I’m never racing again” at the end of Figure 2! Ha ha. Nice job, both in the race and in the write-up. Most enjoyable to read.

March 31, 2010Brilliant Damien!
Also good to know there’s another 7ft oaf out there with the turning circle of an oil tanker for you little guys to hide behind… I was worried I was the only one.

March 31, 2010Thank you very much everybody. You’re making me blush.
Rich – I am very disappointed to learn that I’m on any kind of similar wavelength to the Mail on Sunday.
