Had just finished dragging Carol back up to Gerard, Jan.  Cheers Dave

Great event and course... It was an old skool start(not gridded) with two lines of riders in a field racing for first corner. Decided to try and get into the top few and see how long I could hold on. The pace on the front was hard and I lost a few places(fell on my arse) I did only fall off once . The last few laps I started to slip back but had some good battles and managed to claw back a place on last lap(which was fun). I finished 23rd... I was happy enough but need to work on my fitness, cornering, braking, dismounts, remounts... well everything. Thanks to Mike for the encouragement and other Wheelers, I could not make out who you were as I was going to fast(trying not to fall over).
 
I would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried, it really is a blast!

Thanks to Charlie and Chung for his informative and entertaining workshop. It's amazing how much there is to learn about a bike and this was only the basics although meticulously presented by Chung. I am away to oil my individual chain links now.  Dave and Carol 

Frantic start as usual 3 riders burst away at the start and were never caught managed to keep in a small group up and over Mountsaurt think I was slightly faster
than last year. Well done to the first timers Sandra, Karen Morna and Aden all done really well and Dave C won 1st rider in E & F category. Nice to see Graham,
Andy and Peter and for their support.
