Many thanks - Andrew


Andrew, I can't provide a photo, but would a reasonably accurate sketch get me some of those points? I was even able to count the number of his (yes, a male hedgehog) spines - 6389 - as he lapped me twice during my race. Confused

That was a cracking weekend. Thanks to all the organisators who made it possible, and to the racers who rode well and fairly (everybody!) and made it such fun Smile

Special congratulations to Sarah T for scoring the most exciting race win we have seen for ages and ages Clap

Commiserations to Joe P for being her victim after appearing to have it in the bag - but somebody has to provide the competition to make an excellent race...

Thanks to all who helped us at Lancaster, special mention to Alan Braley who organised the marshalling and relieved us of the responsibility. Luckily the weather was good to us to make good use of this interesting circuit.

Anne & Jon
A very bad man indeed

Thanks to both sets of organisers for the smooth running events, and for the weather too for which I for one was thankful.  The films are with the developers, so hopefully at least one or two good photos therein.  Please, NO more enquiries for photos of the fantastic sprint finish, that I missed Embarrassed- I had already run out of film, sorry guys.

Had a great time, many thanks for those who made it so again. New machine was running well. Pub on the friday night was great so was sitting by the canal with fish and chips on the saturday.

I ran the first race with a camera attached to my machine, Was expecting some great footage, plugged it into my computer to find a 2 second vid. grrrrrr!!!!! Maybe serves me right for buying a £20 720p HD keyfob camera from hong kong...

It's special stuff that makes you think before you press the shutter release.

I should be getting a video of Joe vs Sarah from a spectator I spotted with a camera. Too big to transfer on the spot so he has promised to post me a CD (two more technologies from before your time, Lee!)

There is a bit of a problem with the results for Lancaster due to eight of the tags failing to record anything. We have finish times for all races (thanks to Jon and Anne) and tallies for three races (thanks to Katie), so it's nearly all there but if anyone has information on lap counts in the first (fast) race for the following riders I would be most grateful:
Giovanni Strawbridge
Howard Yeomans
Graham Sparey-Taylor
My own tag was another victim of the evil Tag Fairy Angry, whose wickedness seemingly knows no bounds.

I may be wrong, but wasn't Giovanni a handcyclist, and in the slow race?
 
I'm fairly sure I lapped Howard once, and only once
