Are you thinking about starting racing? Ask about future events in here, find out what you can expect at them and who else is going so you can scrounge a lift off someone rather than riding the 30 miles to get there yourself!
Well done for having a go again Sean, nowt wrong with your bike but jumping straight in to a race after a lot of leisure riding's never going to be easy. How was the heat and humidity? Was it hard work pushing in that?
