March 13th - SG Hope Circuit

I was called in to give blood again on the 4th so this was my first race since then. This race was broken into ages so I was in the M1-M3 race. It was a bit windy so it was going to be a hard race. I attacked in the cross winds on the first lap and the field was reduced from about 20 down to 9. Further attacks from me reduced the number down to 6. No one else was attacking (apart from Mike who put in a good surge along the back straight on one lap). I expected it to come down to a sprint which it did but there was some confusion on how many laps we had to do as the lap counter seemed to change randomly. We also caught another group at along the back straight at the end which didn't make things any easier. Coming into the finishing straight I came into the straight first and sat on the white line with the others strung out across the other side of the road - not quite what I intended. I sat up during the sprint - with any luck the rest would be disqualified. This was not
to be and my email to Malcolm asking for clarification on what the rules are regarding the centre line have remained unanswered. I wasn't really interested in the result but was pleased with the way I was feeling - perhaps I'm recovering more quickly?
