Good to see you guys today.
Sorry for polluting the reto area with my modern muck
Had a fantastic day. First lap was horrid, but they got better and better.
Had more spills than I can remember, but got told by one of the stewards that I rode one very tricky section better than he'd seen anyone else manage all day! It was my last lap, and I'd stopped worrying about hurting myself
Now sat in a b&b in Dover, ready for my epic drive tomorrow

Perfect conditions on the day really, I was fretting about the rain all week, changing tyres and wheels. There were some nice retro bikes flying around the course, Cannondale Killer V, GT etc. Its fun to race retro at least once a year.

Had a top days racing with (as always) ace company. Only fell off four times, scared myself a few times, and rode as hard as I could. Had a superb day
