Isn't there a neater way of doing links?

A neater way? How about [url=http://www.addiscombe.org/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8920&p=81566#p81566]link to Results section[/url]?

Use "["url=http://address]Link Text[/url"]" (but without the quotes, and put the thread address instead of http://address)

For the next race at Henfold, well, an honourable 10th in my group but so far 5th in the series. My time was 01:49.008 and there were 4 from my group in the breakaway. I got 3 points. This will probably all change for the worse when my points get taken over to the next age group, still ...

Well done Alan, how many races in the series? And was that your first one. I thought most of these races were run down at Dover and such.

TErry

[Col]

Pleased to say I'm now lying 2nd overall in the series after 3 events and Alan is 8th, which he should improve on, once back from Majorca. Another event this weekend at Thorney Island which should suit me, with an outside chance of taking over the lead or at least going to a clear 2nd overall. The last event was in Essex and a three man break stayed away despite many chasing groups, I won the bunch sprint for 4th place to stay in front of all the other overall contenders.

[Alan M]

Well done Colin. I had mistakenly entered for yesterday's competition but only got back for Mallorca in the evening, so will se what happens next. Will now move on an age group so will see what effect carrying my points forward may have. How did it go and what was particular about yesterday's race?

[Alan M]

Sorry about thiS POSTING But i SEEM To have been iNFEcted by a cAPS LOck VIRUS AND AM scanniNg as i WRIte. aS You can SEE IT is a tad ANNOYINg!!

I arrived AT hAZLEMERE FOR my sEcond racE, THIS TIME A 40 miNUTE+1 LAP so CALLed 'undulATING' cOURSE with A part OF It pASSING THROUGH the High STreet. It TUrned oUT TO HAVE ONE mile LONg hORRible HILL aND THE rEST MOSTLY FLAT or down HILL. i THOught that i Would go out of tHE BACK PREtty qUICKLy 'COS I don'T do STEEP hilLs.

a grouP shoT Away at the staRT AND I WAS STuck beHIND SOME SLOW STARTErs in A 35 strong fiELd. At the hILL i FOUND MyselFE IN a group of 7 chaseRS that didn'T WANT TO chase, so wE SETTLED Down to 5 laps of alternating speed and pain. In the end I was 3rd in that group, 9th in the race and 7th in my age group so will get some points, SO NOT TOO Bad.

cOLIN Did wELL IN the previoUS RACE WHIch was very wET BUt I'll let him tell yoU ABOUT THAT.

aNYone know how to crush THIS VIRUS?

[Michelle]

No keep the virus, it's very entertaining.

Well done for your 9th place too

[Alan M]

not sure about that Marco . I have BASHED THE keys and BLOWN ON THE KEYBOARD AND STILL THE SAME. mY SPYBot sCAN Seemed to indicate a port had been opened which as far as I undersTAND SUGGESTS A RAT, remote access trojan, but I am no expert! what do you suggest?

thanks for the encouRaGEMENT mICHELLE, YOU WERE LOOKING MORE perky on SaTURDAY - HOPE THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.

[Toks]

Nice work, young Mr Malarkey. I hope you an Colin keep this going its becoming a very interesting thread

[Col]

I am somewhat behind in reporting on here so 1st the previous weeks race at Thorney Island, which Alan entered, but was still in Majorca! The race was in the Thorney Island Military base so security was in evidence, on arrival two young lads totting Machine guns meant I was on my best behaviour as I was checked in! The RAF previously used Thorney Island and the race took place around the airfield, so very flat and windy.

The race was 13 laps and started slowly until the end of the 1st lap and the attacks went in quick succession. It wasn’t until Phil Bull and Malcolm Whitehead joined up in front that I had to stop following the wheels and jump up to them myself, which was after a somewhat harder effort than I would have liked.

Sticking to their back wheels with no intention of going through until I had recovered, luckily they carried on working. It took me a lap before I could contribute to the pace and all hell was let loose in the chasing bunch which was disintegrating and what was left joined us.

A few more laps and various attacks, which left me in the back group with three others, so again a big effort and I just made it back to the front again. Another lap of trying to recover then Malcolm Whitehead took off and no one chased, at first I had a few pulls, but Phil Bull seemed to be working for him and not coming through.

Various individual attacks before Ray Robinson started barking army orders and we started working together again, pulling Malcolm back to within a few hundred metres before the start of the last lap. The inevitable missing of turns between the seven of us chasing and Phil Bull attacking meant I had to chase him down and the others chased us, then no one wanting to come through.

Malcolm’s lead grew again as we started thinking of the sprint coming into the last 500m Phil Bull was in TT mode and I was lying about 4th or 5th back not wanting to get out of the 30mph + slip stream to early, as there was a cross headwind up the finish straight finally the sprint opened just before the yellow flag and I went for it just as Bob Moore in front did as well. I came up to his back wheel and went for the outside he was drifting across to the other side of the track, but I was still coming around him so tight on the line it needed a photo. I nearly wiped out the judge; I think that’s why he got the verdict!

Still good as the points now put me within one of the overall lead.

[Col]

Great ride yesterday Alan, sorry to hear about your virus, have you good up to date AV software that should tell you what it is and tell you how to eliminate it. Colin

[Toks]

Oh dear I appear to have I missed something I thought Colin was an ACC rider
Well done anyway

[Alan M]

I think he just likes the uniform and hangs around at the back of groups ready to pounce!!!

[Antloony]

Might join the LVRC soon and give you some company Alan. Old timers racing here we come
