Only two Reading riders started. Dani Fortunov and Steve Bale coincidently
both punctured on the way to the event but Dani unfortunately wasn't
able to get to the event in time. My winning time in 2003 of 3.51
was soundly beaten by 5 riders (the hill must be less steep than
it used to be). A surprise defeat for Rob English.
Thanks to Steve Avery for pushing people off at the start.
