ACC Members only Road Race CHAMPIONSHIPS

Nice try Ant but you go in the A race without a shadow of doubt. You sandbagged for months through the various speed groups in the CR, you can't try and go back now . Getting you arse kicked by Marek and co will be good for you, it's character building.

[Keith]

So, from those who've posted, the start list is:

Andy E
Sylv
Antloony
Keith

Toks? (You haven't said whether you're racing.)
Paul H?

Add your name to the list if you're intending to race.

I'll leave it to Guru P's Official Sorting Hat to put us in the appropriate event.

[Grahame]

I will not be pleading my case to be allowed into the "B" race, for three reasons:

1 - I know any appeal will fall on deaf ears
2 - It would be good for me to get my legs ripped off in the chasedown of Marek's suicidal 1st lap attack
3 - I'll be up in Yorkshire at my dad's 70th birthday celebrations that weekend.

Scrub my name then, Im not even going to attempt to race with a load of E1,2's plus 3rds who are bordering on becoming 2's when I cant even get a point in a cat 4 race. I'm all for a bit of heathly competition but this ain't going to do my health any good

No way!

Don't believe his sandbagging Toks, he is a really strong rider. He has been in the A training group a number of times - yes, although dropped like he says, but the B training group is now too slow for him, and in a couple of weeks he will be haning on in there in the A's.

Ant belongs in the A race. For a number of reasons.

1. He is way too stong for the B's it will just be unfair.
2. He will learn loads more from going in the A's.
3. He is just covering his light with a bushel, in order to win prizes like out of date Go bars (who wouldn't ).

Come on Ant, have some belief in yourself! The B's last year was like an 18's club run. You know you are way faster than that.

[quote="-Adam-"][quote="Toks"]Paul are we letting 2nd claimers race but not claim prizes?

I know - I have asked the powers the be and awaiting reply.

BTW if we can let 2nd claim members ride, then I see no reason why they can't take prizes as the club rules are:
"They are not eligible to win trophies and cannot compete in the name of the club in open or semi-open events", just not eligible for trophies.

[EdO]

Being an inexperienced 4th Cat with ONLY a couple of races under my belt, I'd like to try and enter the 2nd race.

[quote="Antloony"]

ah another point in my favour not to get destroyed by the fast guys, Im a senior at the ripe old age of 41.

[Antloony]

IM NOT SANDBAGGING

Stop being mean to me, I've never won anything in my life and just once, maybe just once this could be my chance to finally achieve my goal before I have to quit cycling in a months time due to acute left leg failure and a ruptured left nostril.

Mr and Michelle, if I end up in the A race and I fail miserably and end up commiting sucide under the wheels of a mobility scooter I HOPE YOU'LL BOTH BE SATISFIED.....

[Sylv]

Bummer, you can cross my name off the list - got my dates wrong and am at a wedding that day

Ant you can have my spot
