Heh Junkie,
I think I might come and check this out. What time/category do you get there?

i do badly in c grade on the road but always race in b grade at these races as the numbers are small and sometimes rob will set a few different grades off at once to make it more interesting. come along, it's great fun and its over in a flash. great training too. i finish towards the back of the pack but dont care as its the taking part that counts! Smiling

A & B will probably go together again. I think I may even make an appearance in A grade - I reckon I can get the hole shot and then go backwards through the field from the there.

Missed your post....

I plan to get there around 5:30pm (maybe a little later)...
As for grades, I haven't raced in one of these before so probably start in B to get an idea of the format etc.

See you there.
Cool

I'm gutted. Some stuff came up at the last minute and I couldn't make it. How was it?

But I'll definitely be back! Eye-wink

I had a crap start (I wasn't aggressive enough) and there were 2 or 3 stacks on the first corner so the front bunch got away (A's & B's started together) and then after that it was sketchy trying to pass (again, I wasn't aggressive enough).
Decided to just maintain my position i.e. not get passed and not get left behind by the guy in front of me... I hope to improve the fitness in the next two weeks as it's been 2 weeks since I started training again, so looking to improve on today's result.

Gaz and I looked for you but realised that you must of been held up. Hopefully you'll be able to make the next one as it is a good intense hit out that doesn't leave you smashed at the end.
