Nice Race

where do I start?
It was a hard race for me, but this course is so much fun!
First lap was ok, a lot of traffic, but not to bad, I rode behind Anke for a while and she let a few riders through in the more challenging bits, thanks Anke.
then it was Buck's turn! He was much faster then me all day, but my goal was to at least to do 4 laps.
The second lap was gr8t real fun and a bit faster then the first one, rode behind Gazza for .... well maybe 5 min. or so... and he was gone!
Back to Buck again, unfortunately he did not give me a lot of rest! The third lap got slower, harder, and I had to get out of the way of a lot of faster rider, which was challenging at times, Junkie was one of the fast ones, I hope I did not hold you up to much! and there was Gazza again! No comment!
"Back to Buck again, unfortunately he did not give me a lot of rest!" The fourth lap was a struggle!! again I had to get out of the way of some unbelievable fast Girls and Guys, on that lap I was overtaken by V , Damien, Junkie (nearly kicked him of his bike, sorry, but it was on a tricky corner).
On the 5th lap ... there was ..... yes Gazza again! I was stationary and this nice Pommy guy shouted out:
F...ing German get on you f..ing bike and f..ing ride!! which gave me some motivation to finish the 5th lap and Buck had another good lap and we finished with 10 laps,
which, for my fitness and skill level on such a demanding course is mission accomplished!!
I had a lot of fun and only had one day of saw muscles.
Thanks everyone for the Team help, especially Buck for taking me on as a Team mate and Rob and Buck for talking me into a 5th lap, Thanks a lot!!!!
And well done everyone, V and Damien!!!!! what a Race, well, very well done!!!
