Me, Gaz and Greg raced in the Cat 4 group last night. Eventful to say the least. I got pushed out on to the grass verge and had to chase on and then a couple of laps later came down in a crash. Lucky for me nothing was broken (me and the bike). I took a lap out to get the chain on/gears sorted. I sat in then for the remaining 20 mins, coming around 3/4 wheel on the last hairpin and sprinted for 2nd place. Which means I am now offically 3rd Cat. In reality I'll still be racing the same 3/4 cat races anyway but happy for the result.

Well done Doug, talk about doing it in style, I bet that was at least as satisfying as an uncomplicated 1st place would have been.

Well done mate, good on you for having the nerve to get back in after coming down, not sure I would!

There was bottle of HPA and Dorothy Goodbody-Wyre valley Brewary are the organisers sponsors. That's what we need to do-get a brewery on board for the Beacons.
That isn't a hole in my shorts (it's the way I'm standing) and the Wyre Forest bloke looks miserable because he came 3rd!
Thanks for the comments. I will now be able to report on 3rd Cat races I've come nowhere in.
