Glad it wasn't just me that thought some of the bikes shown in the other classes looked like they were out for a sunday bimble!

These guys weren't wearing novice bibs, so presumably they'd already started.

Enjoyed my moment of fame, but not the wheel up off the grid.

Funny though in one race a rider going wide was translated as "going wide to get on the power early" is translated in our race that "i need to tidy up my lines"

Still was great to watch and enjoyed being able to see it more from a spectators perspective, something we dont get to do when we are out there racing.

Looking forward to Snett.

it amazes me when I watch club racing how close it is, looks so dangerous (as I said to the missus last night) yet doesnt feel risky at all.

Not risky..How is that gravel rash healing up?

We had 32 entries, same as the Endurance Class who pay about twice our entry fee but get more than 2x our track time. And we took a full page ad in the Programme, or was that a free Infomercial? Cheer up Dave Mabbutt. Poor mans racing pays its way.
