Derby Track League

I have been riding this for six meetings. Doing OK but can't get the upper hand over Geoff Cooke and Mac McCready going very well. Still doing OK for an F rider. (Need to take out that Cooke bloke. Probably need an elephant gun though)!

I will miss the next meeting as I am in Mallorca. (Usually score 70 pts / meet)

The Derby Track league has concluded the points competition and I have won the F cat o/a winner but lost out on the over 60 cat to Mac Mcgready. The last two meetings will be a free of points event and I am switching to race with the younger riders. However looking at the speeds, they are averaging almost 30 mph so it will be either good (if I can hang on) or bad (if dropped) training .

What I love about masters racing is how you get to ride amongst some of the greats. Last night it was a privilege to be riding alongside two current Multi world champions. Geoff Cooke took 5 and Ivor Thomas 2, gold medals at the world masters games in New Zealand a week or so ago.

Results from last night; (A good job those two world champs had Jet lag)! 3 wins and a second place out of the 4 races.
