the camera man (boy) is moving up to C next week too under coaches orders.
downside is we may not see as many riders if he has the camera rear facing

Actually got down there to watch D grade this weekend.
Was good. A pretty big field. Some of the younger guys appear to do pretty well too!
I am pretty sure that Chee (the winner) was out on an SPR ride on Saturday morning.
Were you in a full SPR kit jonhanson? I think I was sitting behind you on the bank, after you'd sat down after your race and while the C grade race was on. I'll say Hi if i see you down there again.
If the planets align and I can get down there, might even join in for my racing debut come Sunday. We'll see anyways... Not expecting much but to learn and hopefully get a bit more involved this time next year. Anyways, we'll see.

no shame in pulling out early either as racing is quite different to going for a group ride - it takes some getting used to (constant changes in speed etc).

I remember seeing the rear facing GoPro, didn't think I would get to see the footage though! Thanks for sharing.
My first actual race. Should have started in C as Jon mentioned, but I decided I should take it easy after 2 weeks in Bali and a spill on the bike a few days before. Unfortunately I won't be able to do this weekend's race due to other commitments, but there's lots of options for racing (e.g. twilight crits in Claremont)
Definitely recommend starting in D. Was great to get an understanding of what was happening at a reasonable pace, rather than doing it in C grade and worrying about holding on for dear life.

Not a bad way to kick things off.
Were you riding with SPR on the Saturday?

Thought I might have caught you, but alas.
I am on Antilag, yeah!
Only get on there every so often nowadays, but used to be a regular on there.

Only the 7th of Jan, or is it a weekly series again?

good to see so many out there.
few silly riders taking risky moves resulted in a couple of crashes.
ambulance picked up one from the womens race.
very tight course with few overtaking opportunities - but if you're strong they are there of course
i think bentley is a bit more open and allows for more overtaking - possibly safer as well.
well run event, kudos to organisers.
av speed for C grade was approx 37.5 kmph

I finished 6th, but quite happy overall. Was a better performance than the week before. Field was bigger and stronger this week. Few people needed to be told to hold their lines. Lot's of pedal striking on the little hill section.
Averaged 38.1km/hr.
