Après - The Hot Recovery Drink Whacky Races

Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!

Continuing ACC's fine showing, I managed to get second in the cat 4 race today, just staying ahead of a last lap pile-up that took out half the field. Absolutely mad racing, especially in the conditions (torrential rain for the entire race), but a lot of fun.

I read about that elsewhere. Sounds like people were OK, but some broken bikes.

Yes, one guy was taken to hospital but later discharged. It was pretty scary to be honest - caused, I think, by everyone who had been sitting on for the entire race suddenly deciding that they needed to be at the front!
