Nice one Adam! Good old kph you got going there. Nice to know you are no longer feeling like a newbie. God, you guys were going some pace up that back straight. Put me and the rest of the chicks to shame Mind you we were having a nice little chat, surprised the teacups weren't coming out

Yes Lisa had a good result in that race. The other woman she had been talking about going on a break with, Helen from Crawley Wheelers, got a puncture on the last hill. BUMMER!

Also nice to know that you saw me going for a break, always good when you have a witness

[George]

Well done Michelle and if you didn't know you get your entry fee back from the club when you win a race

All you gotta do now is win another one and you get complimentary club membership for the year

[quote="Michelle"]So the race was not really a good indication of my fitness or ability. Or of many other people's either.

[Michelle]

As ever, Toks, your kind words, praise and encouragement are appreciated and noted

I haven't stopped smiling quite yet! I was giggling for a time last night, but I think that was the champers.

Think I will probably stop smiling about ......5kms into the womens regional race next Saturday, whilst I am chewing my bar tape and trying not to get spat out of the back of the pack

[Tamar]

Just saw this result - absolutely brilliant! Great results for both Michelle and Lisa. Chuffed to bits for you.

[Daniel Gee]

Superb Michelle, you won fair & square so, I think, you've every right to be proud of yourself

Well done!

[adrian]

Excellent stuff, Michelle - congratulations. And you can only beat the people in front of you - not that there were any, come the finish

[Grahame]

Yay! Well done Michelle.

It's almost enough to make me think about racing again*.














*Almost, but not quite.

[Maria David]

Very well done on your result Michelle - a well deserved one too.

Also well done on 3rd place to Lisa S, who has proved to be a bit of a revelation this season.

So it looks like we could be in for a lively race at the SE Champs this Saturday !

See you there.

Maria

(Btw they are taking entries on the day for any others interested.)

[Tony]

There were lots of great results last weekend. Well done for winning and I hope it feels good!

I'm sure if you wanted to, Michelle, you could be a dominant woman's rider in the SE in a relatively short period of time. For now, well done for this victory.

Can I admit? Everytime I see Michelle's surname written, I think of this

As always an excellent write-up and a Superb Win Michelle, we're all very impressed. Hopefully you'll get the confidence now to really go for it. Well done.

[Michelle]

Sylv:

that's one hell of an admission, but you must know me very well! I think the problem is all the brown rice and pasta...still, if it makes you go faster

Everyone else - thanks for the zillions of well wishes and encouragement. For now I am loving every second. I reckon these sorts of posts don't come around that often
