aw gee, you could have chosen the vid where I smoked the field & valiantly left everyone in my dust.

. . .The 2nd corner wasn't so noble

The new camera has lots of settings but none for capturing dreams and delusions. I will check for a firm wear update. He he. Well you surprised me for a good 20 seconds. Pity it died at least you know the problem.

I have 2 more races to upload. Will try do that tonight.

20 seconds? more like 8, or however long it takes to click about 4 gears

Great weekend, cheers everyone for showing up.

Massive massive thanks to Skunk and Clive for running the day. A really big thanks to my family and to Sarah for running all the food stuff etc, and a big thanks to my Mum for being the nurse for the day (she was a little gutted she wasn't able to go for a ride in the nice weather but was very happy she could help out).

Great racing all day long in A and B grade and it was great to see a number of new people (and fast new people too!).

There were a couple of things that were pointed out to me and that I noticed too was that there were a few bikes that have nylon on them that won't stay on if they were to crash or if the wind blew too hard. Just make sure that your nylon will stay on the bike rather than leave trails of it round the track as you go by. Some of the handlebar nylon was a little dodgy and it's pretty easy to knock that stuff off with your hands.
Another thing was the sound level. I will be honest and say it's pretty clear I have one of the loudest bikes at buckets and I deserve a slap for not having changed it already. A few spectators didn't appreciate a few of the bikes that caused ear bleeding, loss of vision and incontinence. It would be appreciated by probably everyone if some of us noisy dickheads could quieten down our bikes.

Well once again I didn't make it.
What can I say 'cept the new job and overtime is getting to me a bit.

Once again it sounds like I missed a great day.

Hey there was a guy out there with a very very cool looking camera taking photos. It looked like he was the kind of person who would have a photography website. Does anybody know who he was? I'd like to get in touch with him and make these photos available to everyone. Cheers

Yeah, you most certainly did.
