PTW

So how has it been going James & Charles? Kicking Assos yet?

Lets just call it a working progress !!!!!!!

Last week i let the adrenaline get the better off me as one does and decided to attact on lap 4 of the 1st event of 4 the 12 lap scratch, needless to say it all went a bit pete tong !!, didnt realy recover till 4 laps to go in the 4th event !!!!!!!, the 30 lap scratch, managed to hang on and finish at the tail end of the leading pack !!

Tank done alright !!! finished well up in all "B" events with me, but adrenaline got the better of him too yet again decided to enter an "A" event and attatck from the gun!!! on a 60 lapper i think it was,think we'll leave the rest to all your imaginations!!

This week took the trip to newport with pip as cheif mechanic !!!, jimbob is still recovering from a chest infection.

Decided to use it as more of an interval training sesion, well thats my excuse !! and just sat at the front of all events and just string them all out !!!,and keep attacking, dont think griff aprciated my tactics mind !!, KINDA WORKED for me tho ?!?!? LOL, put it one way i didnt blow !!! so next weeks objective is to sit in do bugger all work and win ALL EVENTS !!

lol - great write ups!! Looking forward to hearing the results rolling in!!

December 17th TRACK LEAGUE:

With the tank sunning it up in tenerife it was left to me and the old dawg griff !!!

After going to sprinters training friday with Griff and feeling quite fresh and strong i thought tonight was the night, so rolled up to the line with the "wiggins attitude", omg what a mistake that was. Unfortunatly theres a vet i think i upset last week with my constant attack who this week thought he should teach me a lesson!!, he smashed it in the 30 lap scratch pretty much from the gun, but to my suprise who decided to chase him down, Griff !!!!!!!!!!, it all came back together eventualy but me or griff didnt get any result to worth mentioning !!

1k dash was a much better story, unfortunatly it were split in to 2 gropus odds and evens, and u guessed it i had a odd number on and griff had an even number on so we were in seperate races so no team tactics could be used. But im glad to say even tho griff had the easier race griff done us pround and won!!, i though had the harder group which included the pissed of vet from last week, who again decided to go from the gun, but i dug deep and rolled in 4th, bit more experiance tho i think i could of quite easily had second, but hey thats no excuse !!!

The next race was the 2k scratch, i was hoping for a good result but legs were a bit sore from the 1k dash, i put an attack in half way through which only got me bout 5meteres gap !!! and that was that got swallowed up and spat out the back big style !!!!
As griff won his 1k dash he got put in with the "A" group in his 2k scratch and fair does to the ole dawg he held his own !!!! respect to the man !!!

Then it were the devil but again the "A" were in this event with us too, and being it isnt mine or griffs favoured event the motivation to hang in to the end with a pray of wining wasnt there as there was no chance doing so with the likes of the wonder boy sam harrison in the group !!!

Finaly the last event was the "hare and hounds", still to now i realy have no idea what this race was all about !!!, but ill try to explain basicaly they split the "B" up in to 3 groups, on the home straight they have the fasest group and the slowest group of the 3, and on the back straight they have the middle group, and basicaly, if u think of it as the slow group being in the lead so the fast group starts exactly 1 lap behind and the middle group being half a lap behind, the idea being by the end of the 15 lap race the middle group should of caught the slow group for half a lap and the fast group caught them for a whole lap. confused, dont blame you, i certainly was and i were in the race, and i think every one else who was in the race was confused TOO !!! what the result was at the end i have no idea all i know is griff pulled out after bout 5 laps and i blew me tits with 2 laps to go !!!.

So i think now a 2 week break over xmas is gonna much appriciated off the track !!!!

Sorry guys i hadnt got a result for the club but considering 6 months ago i was 16stone and hadnt riden a bike for 12 years im damn bloody pleased with my self !!

Great write up!! Sounds like you are both doing the club proud!! Charles - the man to watch next season?!! (Thank God he doesn't ride on Saturdays, my 'Margam Sprint Title' is safe!!)
