im off to europe

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!

I remember racing with this international cyclist a while ago, ah those were the days.

Congratulations Stu, and keep away from needles :wink:.

Fcuk me, going through the forum reading about everybody else racing but me is depressing!

Give it some Stu, you'll kick some ass! Just enjoy it, use it to learn rather than expect fantastic results. Remember when i said just get used to being a third cat without always aiming for points? Then how they just came along naturally!? Same again!

Hi Stu - we were wondering where you'd got too last weekend. Clearly you'd found a better race to ride!

I'm curious to know where you are going this weekend - France, Belgium? Is it a John Barclay organised event? Which other junior are you travelling with?

How did you get on in the race Stu?

Met Toby Mellowes up at Box Hill the other week. Sounds like he's concentrating on track riding now but good guy really friendly and guided me back to Rykas on his way back to Guildford through Dorking.

Love to go up to one of the Revolution meets up there, ever been?

see results section :wink:

but if you cant find it-

it was great fun. unfortunatly the first day someone hit my front wheel, i went back to the team car to get it sorted out, but i couldnt get back onto the pack.

next day was a crit race. was brilliant fun. loads of crowds, and i came 22nd.
