Really really good fun. Highly recommended! Several there on Mtb including the winner of the women's who flew round so a cx bike isn't essential. Stuart raced on his winter steel Genesis so a specific cyclocross bike isn't a must, tyres and Mtb shoes and spds are though.

Representing the club this week was Simon Dighton, Carolyn Clegg, James Tate, Stuart White and me.

A hard fitness and technical challenge but I didn’t crash or come last so anyone could do it, it's amazingly well organised and really friendly (apart from the odd over pushy parent!) so great for all from age 5 to 75.

Simon in the vet50s had a bad spill on gravel needing some stitches later but raced on! He needs a new skinsuit Andy. He's racing next week I think though!

Cyclocross training details with Gary Mac mid week evenings on messageboard and on Facebook group. Next one is Tuesday.

Back on the turbo tonight and off the painkillers - need to work out how sore the arm would be if I get another bang but moving the right way so will see how I feel Sat. Will definitely have to get a new skinsuit ordered on the next batch as for now patching up with £3 red lycra knickers from Peacocks - matching colours though!

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Simon.

Thanks George

All back up again and managed to race Sunday as well - just don't want to land on the elbow if it can be avoided - certainly not the point bit!

Best
Simon
