Whitewebbs RR 16th May

[DS]

having just posted an entry off has anyone else entered or planning on entering this event on the Whitwell circuit?

[Silver]

I've entered.

[jocksyboy]

i think that hill is too much for me..... we'll see for the next one after a few thursday nights....

[Silver]

The next one is an E123. They go up that hill faster than I go down it.

[jocksyboy]

hmmm will have to reevaluate......

[jocksyboy]

I Have reevaluated. Entry in the post- at least when i come off the back on Sue Ryder Hill it's not to far to go home....

Julian - its all in the mind. think gazelle like, dancing on the peddles as you watch everyone else suffering. Its only a hill!

Top man for entering - its a nice safe circuit and sure you will enjoy

I might put an entry in for this but depends on any clashes with MGM and any decorating/DIY services required on that day

[Ade T]

Many thanks to DS for posting my entry whilst I was away

So have you entered? If so we will have 4 as long as it isn't oversubscribed. What about Dan and Mark who would also be eligible to ride.

Juniors seem to be happy to ride at Hillingdon at the moment! Isn't the Junior National Road Race coming up soon?

Just realised having entered this race I should be at the Hillingdon GP with LT! Oh well looks like another fight over wheels!!

[DS]

thought the course would suit TomG

[Silver]

It's a 3/4 so he isn't eligible.

[DS]

thought he'd got his licence changed to a 3J

[Ade T]

defo 2nd cat according to BC website. And has 1pt so no chance of a down grade now until the end of the season

[Silver]

I go the start sheet last night. What a great turn out for this race. From memory we have:

Dan S
Claire
Jeremy
Julian
Me

We should make sure beforehand that we decide among ourselves what we are going to try to do (not on an open forum) as there's a good opportunity to work as a team.

[DS]

I'm also in
unforgettably the entry I sent in for Adrian disappeared into the postal system and took over 2 weeks to travel from Knebworth to Hatfield

[Green Machine]

I'm also hoping to ride EOL

[DS]

GM think you may struggle there's already 15 on the reserve list!

[Green Machine]

Looks like another day of decorating then!

[graemea]

Looks like another day of decorating then!

Haven't you finished yet???

[Jerrycs]

have picked up a cold with sore throat and all that rubbish....blah blah blah.....so don't count on me to be the lead out man...not that you were anyway.......

[DS]

getting the excuse in early - nice move JC-S
ok plan is now revised you do the attack on lap 1 that (ideally) stays away - as you'll appreciate this means you'll only need to make a steady effort as opposed to a single high intensity effort at the end:)

[jocksyboy]

forecast rain and 10 degrees. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[jocksyboy]

or depending on which forecast you believe 16 degrees and sunny :)

[Green Machine]

I will be inside decorating so it will be brilliant sunshine, 21C and no wind

I would be tempted to see if i can get an EOL but with 15 reserves, better getting the brownie points with Mrs GM

Hope folks have a good ride

[jocksyboy]

Great Ride by Dan, Alex Clare and of course Dave S. Whilst I was happy that I went further than my first RR still disappointed not to have gone further. JCS and I need to work harder I feel!

Excellent conditions and a fun day out. When is the next one? My goal this season is to finish one!

[No Way]

So, did DS win? Sounds like he did to me.

[DS]

DS didn't win but Dan Snow placed 11th which was an excellent performance for his first open road race.

[No Way]

Well done Dan. Teaching the old fellas a thing or two.
