i apologise in advance for very ignorant question but is this a big race?

softlad

er no...

it was just a club event like most of the others we did - about 50 or 60 miles I think. Myself and a few others opened up a bit of a gap at the top of the last climb on the last lap, so I thought I would have a dig - didn't quite get the win I was going for though...

cockyness - I don't understand..? I was trying to convey a sense of irony - 7th was my best placing ever - not exactly gold medal material...

sorry misunderstood you, thought it was a smug kinda thing

Damn right I felt smug - I worked hard for that 7th place. I was chuffed to bits at the time, and it was (is) my best performance - which is exactly what the question was asking.

I don't understand what you want...
