Leading Ladies (plus the odd man, very odd according to some) on 7 March 2001
Much the same group in the Time Out/Time In columns, but significantly faster times second time out for most legs - EXCEPT the last.
Was it the milder weather, no wind, or are we fitter? Or just chasing a fast lady who could have seen off many of the Men's group
