Found out late on Saturday that the Pioneer Run, which was cancelled due to COVID back in March, had been rescheduled to Sunday(yesterday). So with alarm clock set I was up and out by 07:30, for the short ride up to Epsom Downs, in time to see the first group of riders flagged away at 08:00. Both the crowd and the entry was noticeably depleted, maybe some of them, like me, were unaware of the event being on. Sammy Miller is usually a regular competitor, who was absent from yesterday’s proceedings. Normally I follow this event down to the finish at the coast, but other plans were already in place for the rest of the day, so I was back home in no time. Very unlike me, as normally out for a full day.
