ACC Crash

[Michelle]

Remember the [url=http://www.addiscombe.org/members/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6826&p=57467]Women's South-East Regional Road Race[/url] last year? I came 4th , but then was involved in a crash after the line ?

Well somebody took video footage and mailed it to me just last week. Here are some stills:

Ouch!

By the way, thanks again Keith Knight for the replacement jersey.

You had me worried then Mich. George had his crash recorded too, I think there's a message in this. If someone's videoing the race pull out and DNF and save yourself .

Well, it does look that way Sean. It appears she swung right to avoid her team mate who was veering right over the centre line after coming 2nd, and lost it instead.

I don't know quite what you mean by DNF Andrew, we had already gone over the line.

Ha Ha Andrew - a bit difficult these days to not race where there is a camcorder, they tend to be pretty common things.

As to Charlie falling off, I don't know Sean. I know that when this crash happened last year, she had just got back to training after breaking her collarbone after a crash. Someone else who races with her said she fell off a lot, but I don't have any experience of it other than during this race above.

Thanks for that!
