Dudes you missed it. Some of South East's top 1st and Elite cat riders - Sigma Sport, Wayne Coombs, J.H-A + Fit For were handing out reality checks to newbie 2nd cats at Hog Hill last Saturday. I received mine on lap five. You know its gonna be one of those races when you start burning matches just to stay in touch on your second lap. There after you're recovery at the top of the Hoggenburg is continually compromised so the "the-get-ready-to-be-dropped-clock" starts ticking.
A slightly dicey moment between female Pro Leda Cox and another rider on the 4th lap bought me a stay of excecution (as we all sprinted around her) but who was I fooling. Another attack just before the climb again on the 5th and I'd burnt my final match so inevitably I had to say goodbye to the "bad guys"... A comfortable small ring spin up the climb and I went into solo training mode. Two laps later I caught up with Cosmo from Dulwich Paragon and we began a two-up. The John Heaton-Armstrong lead break lapped us about fifteen minutes later and John was kind enough to shout "Go Addiscombe" as he cruised by with consumate ease. With 13 laps gone we were finally caught by the main bunch and I jumped on simply for more bunch practise before ducking out on the 20th lap. Hmmm! its nice to be back racing;-)
