Congratulations to Max West - 5th on the night, putting himself 12th in the series and moving Clifton to 5th in the team table. I wrote something briefly for the series website, but deliberately omitted the detail regarding the stoppage midway through:
http://northyorkshireroadraces.wordpres ... standings/As for myself, I made it a lap further than last year's 4th's only race. I struggled with the corners and found myself hitting the first bridge on my absolute limit without a hope of surviving bridge-corner-bridge. Possibly my fault for not making a serious attempt to move up in the forest the previous lap. Then I learnt a harsh lesson about keeping going when I failed to stamp my pedals and catch the race just as it restarted - though whether I could have kept up after 2 laps on my own is another matter.
