Après - The Hot Recovery Drink Whacky Races

[Jonathan]

Hi

After talking to Sam at the ACC circuit race I've decided to enter a few of these (30 March and 13+20 April), if anyone else fancies coming down as well apparantly team work can play a decent roll in the result even at cat 4 level.

I am planning to do the 6th and possibly then the 13th April one, can't do this sunday.

[Matt.H]

I might do the one on the 13th as well Ashley.

I went out with a club in brighton (On the Rivet) on Saturday and a few of them race down there - said they were good fun.

[Matt W]

They are good fun. I've been doing a few down there and am planning to do the 6th and 13th.

[thomashansell]

I can't do 13 April but am definitely up for 20 April. Would be great to get a decent ACC contingent there.

Can anyone else do that date?

[simon Lythgoe]

I'll be down there on 6th for another crack. They are good fun, fast and a little scary given how close it all is. Ash can i borrow your old ACC top?

[Jonathan]

How'd it go guys?

[AshleyN]

Simon rode a great race and finished 3rd. I made a couple of mistakes on the last 2 laps and couldn't make up the ground finishing 11th.

excellent win in 3rd cat race by ex ACC Matt Webber
I'll be there again next week hoping to improve on yesterdays effort.

[Keith]

Well done to Simon on moving up to 3rd cat with his second 3rd placing.

Unlucky finishing just out of the points Ashley. Next week?

[thomashansell]

Nice one guys. I'm signed up for 20 April - is anyone else?

[AshleyN]

I'll be back next week for another crack Keith.
I'm not around on the 20th Thomas, hopefully another ACC'er will join you

[Jonathan]

I'll be racing in the 3rd cat race on the 13th, i'll be down to support for the 4th cat one as well

[Jonathan]

Good showing from ACC today,

4th cat race - Ashley managed a 3rd place (i think) putting on good show in a bunch sprint, while jonathan steer came in with the group in his first attempt at racing.

3rd cat race - came in 21st after getting boxed in on the final few laps

3rd cat race ...

[AshleyN]

Thanks Jon - yes, what a difference a week makes. Didn't get too involved in being on the front or chasing breaks, kept quiet for the most part and made sure I was in a good position for the last 2 laps.
I got 3rd in the bunch sprint, just couldn't come around the Kingston wheeler on my inside
Great fun and certainly learnt from the mistakes i made last week
