Anyone actually racing at all this weekend?

It's been good to see who's been racing all year, though I'm surprised by the relatively small numbers.
I guess you'll all be doing the same in 2011?

I'll be trying to have an incident free year in 2011 as I've not managed to race a whole year for two years.
Plans are to kick off with the road season as early as possible. Then mix some xc racing into the road season and finish off with the cross league.
aP, Londonlady, Rig and Jase see you all next year?

I will be TTing from April and then training for the next cross season to see if I can consistently move myself above the bottom 25% of the field ๐Ÿ™‚

Cross race on the 2nd down in Plymouth to do first though.

Maybe Hillingdon on new years day, depending on if they have too much snow like last time. Can't find anything on my way this weekend, every where has about half a foot of snow!

stupidly i actually went to the soton cx with a hangover, didnt really make much difference as some fast dudes there and i was all ready frothing at the mouth on the warmup lap. Great fun though as most the course frozen and plenty of sketchy corners, had a good stack but only a grazzed knee.
But before we started some guy had a crash and busted his ankle or something..hope the poor fella ok.
can some slow people please start going to cx races

Foots Cray looked ok today. It was really icy at 9.30 but by 1.30 it had softened somewhat.
And it only took just over an hour and a quarter to drive the 20 miles home.

Had a nice rest, and later today I'll be getting the crosser road ready for some LSD in preparation for the Chiltern Classics which is preparation for the 2011 road season. After all the first road race is only two months away ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
