Nope.
I underestimated the time it would take to do a practise lap so started mid pack instead of where I should have been. A rider fell in front of me/others on the start which didn’t help.
I fell three times during the race, one looked so bad the four riders behind stopped to help – I was OK, turns out I’ve fractured a finger and a few other bruises – and splintered the end of my bars. I fell again a bit later going from 14th – and a possible top ten based in the negative splits I naturally ride – to 24th on lap 2.
I had a miserable lap 3 as the wind was literally knocked out of my sails, probably ending up 26/27th or similar.
Oh well, two hours riding at threshold is a bit of decent exercise I s’pose.
Arse.
Good to see Gazhurst though, bad luck MrBlobby.
