Really enjoyed my return to racing, the facility is superb and the supporting staff were great!

Good to see Tim managed the impossible.... getting a wheel of my missus (that sounds worse than it was) he punctured about 20 metres into the track while warming up and Fiona let him use her wheel despite the fact I had to run a slightly worse for wear turbo wheel on my slightly worse for wear winter bike...

Looking forward to next week.

Cheers

Thanks for that Sharpy.Was really looking forward to racing with the 2nd cats last night and thought I would be having a bath before I started.

Thanks to a wheel change I was in there.Good race with plenty of attacks and one which stuck with 2 staying away one of which was a Cliftonite

(not me unfortunateiy)IMPRESSIVE as we were shifting.chapeau.Came in sprinting with the bunch but just outside top ten but a real race and must also say the venue is excellent.My winter training wont change much this next year but I know I have to work on my sprint as I have had plenty of placing just outside top ten when I have been well positioned.cheers

Cheers Rich, no I decided that I should take them off, still had my wheel reflectors and light brackets on though!

Sorry...not impressed. Put panniers on next time and maybe a bag of shopping looped round your handlebars for good measure

Well done Richard!

Great result, Sharpy.

I bet you got a few strange looks when you lined up with your wheel reflectors on.
