Hayes...

The reverse fun race is an inspiration: like doing two different circuits in the same day. The bread pudding was another inspiration - the club should fund the Marshalls to make sure it is provided at all future events. A piece should certainly be sent to all new members as an encouragement to attend.

Bread pudding seconded, a genius creation indeed and if some kind soul would care to share the recipe that would be grand.

I took a few decent photos, and a lot of dross because my rather aged digicam didn't like focusing on fast moving shiny things. And because I thought the shutter speed would be fast enough to freeze everything, but actually it wasn't and I should have been panning the camera with the riders. No photos of the second race cos I was in it.

I've put a very quick gallery at http://www.ajjrice.plus.com/images/hayes/

Riding backwards was quite different because you never really entered the corners with much speed, the wind was in your face on the downhill stretches which were too short to get much speed up and the climbs were all long drags rather than short sprints. Much less interesting to race really.

That's funny, they seemed much younger than that

Oh no, preserved for all eternity...

I'm not quite sure what happened though - I think I punched the air, wiggled the handlebars slightly with my left hand and accidentally unclipped my left foot which led to the rather spectacular loss of balance.

Are the various parents of the under 16s okay with pics of their kids on there?
If there's any worry I can either take individaul pics down or lock the albums to a specific sign in if need be.
