so who's planning on road racing in ACC colours for 2008

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!

WHAT'S the team target? Move up a couple of places in the regional points standings? Could we win it even?

I saw Tim at the top of Box Hill last month

He was making the same noises that a lot of riders make after their first year of racing 'seriously' - ie he was finding it a bit too intense. Not the speed so much as the comitment needed and all the other things he had to give up on in order to compete at that level.

Another returnee to ACC perhaps???

Now, now Mr O... remember your pledge in the fitness guide, read by millions who will be watching your every move to see if you stick to it :D

[quote="Graham O"] I don’t think I have got it right yet. I always seem to burn out in the summer. It’s really difficult to judge.? This year, I’ll continue with the commute throughout the winter and do some longer steady rides on the weekends. ?I reckon that I should start riding fast again at about Eastertime.

Spoke to him two weeks ago he said he hadn't ridden for at least two months. I told him that Marek and I (prodigal sons) would be back in yellow next year. Tim said he's not bothered who he rides for and that we're all racing budies at the end of the day.

He had quite a funny old season. In Jan he was as skinny as a rake and absolutely flying then he got a hip problem I think. He came back and was just getting form but crashed out at the Smithfield Nocturne. Like me he went from loving Palace to absolutely hating it coz he didn't seem to be improving. Anyway he ended up 3 points short of the 25 at the end of the season so he'll be a 3rd cat again. He didn't seemed that bothered about racing when we spoke but hopefully he'll be back :D

Yes, the last time I saw him was mid July and he did seem a bit de-motivated... Talking about how hard life is as a 2nd, constantly getting a kicking from the E/1s. And he expressed doubt over getting his 25 points to maintain 2nd, but if he got nearly 40 then he must be OK then. Would be good to see him back in the game, he's pretty awesome when he's on form. I remember once he beat me in a sprint, just after I got my Trek (basically because it was a new bike i nearly crashed because I wern't used to it, well thats my excuse anyway) Anyhow, I was so pissed that he beat me I then rode out of my skin on Box to ensure I dropped him... I did, but only just! Doubt I'd get near him these days... :cry:

Yip..I know....Surely a couple of races can't do any harm though, particularly after xmas.....

I'll see you tomorrow. I think I'll be riding steady tomorrow......that is as long as I am not tempted by Mareks group..
