Storm the palace

Come on Toks - spill the beans - I hear you and my mate Andy were in a break and swearing at juniors for not doing any work!!!

Then someone kicked Brian Taylor onto the floor! What's the story? Out with it!

Ah the lure of the £500 bank note ...

Can anyone explain about the £500 prize? I raced at Palace on Tuesday but strategically had positioned myself at the back of the bunch so didn't really hear anything said. It would certainly explain the intial speed of the race, for the first 6-7 laps I timed it as averaging about 24.5mph, causing me to lose touch with the main bunch, I kept with 4 (then 3, then 2) other riders for the remainder of the race until the bunch came past again and managed to stay with them for the last ten laps, which averaged a more manageable pace of 22.5 mph. There were two crashs, as Huw says, one was Brian Taylor, who remained on the ground and as I was leaving an ambulance was making its way into the park following another VCL rider. Another crash occurred at the top of the hill as the e/1/2 bunch came past the main j/3/4 bunch shouting to keep out of the way two dulwich riders came down thanks to the over hanging branches, luckily the speed of the pack was not too high, just having finished the hill and everyone else managed to avoid them. They seemed ok at the end of the race. Anyway a good night's entertainment. Must train more! Must train more!

Tim seemed fine in the E/1/2 race, now all I need is for about 30 other riders to move up to 2nd cat and I might get some points at palace!
