Guest Michelle

Sonic: Thanks, we had a great time smiley4.gif  The birthday boy was spoilt rotten! (although Jason says he's the one that spoilt me smiley36.gif)

 

Now for my race report...

 

It was fricken cold & windy so I tried to stay in the car with the seat heater on for as long as possible.  I saw Stiffy wandering around looking half asleep in his pyjamas (& we were expecting a win from you!! smiley3.gif  That Bibo race just wasn't the same without you) 

Decided to run around to try & warm up (saw 101% - I think he follows us around or something smiley17.gif)  Got on the trainer to do my warm up when Sonic joined me for a chat (Definitely helped the time pass quick! smiley2.gif)  We made our way over to the start pens when I heard "Michelle Michelle Michelle"  Turned around & met Chilli Pepper!! smiley4.gif 

Grapkas went flying past us on her way to the start & from that point on I only saw the back of her (and then not for that long either!!) smiley9.gif

The race started out pretty easy, a bit of acceleration at the first hot spot but nothing too hectic.  I thought yeah, I'm gonna hang in all the way.. suuuure.  Second corner I had to chase to get back into the group... it really hurt.. then the next thing they neutralise the race to allow the A-bunch to pass, all that energy wasted for nothing smiley26.gif  Then came the second hot spot & I got dropped like a hot potato smiley19.gif  Chilli Pepper decided to drop back & keep me company smiley2.gif  Thanks Chilli.. it was most appreciated!! smiley31.gif 

After the next turn we were lucky enough to join Snapshot & a couple of tandems that made the wind a little more bareable.  Although Chilli was not at all shy to do some work up-front!! smiley32.gif

The next turn & the ladies decided to leave the tandems behind, unfortunately we were met with a horrible crosswind & I was left on my own just before the top of the drag... once over they left me for dead smiley19.gif 

I spent the remainder of the race on my own, getting blown all over the road... a couple of the A & B-group riders made their way past me almost clipping my front wheel on a number of occasions smiley7.gif  I don't know what their problem is.. are they pulling a "hey look at me" or what?  I saw one of them knock a tandems handlebar much to the disgust of the lady on the back who started swearing at him smiley36.gif

I saw Cruxie & Man with no Name @ the final turn & knew it was almost home time... YIPPEE!

A couple of km's & I spotted Jason... cruising around taking photos, looking all fresh & relaxed smiley16.gif It looked like he'd spent the day at the Valley of Waves smiley17.gif

I finally made it to the finish & met up with Amoryn & Snapshot, my soon-to-be fellow team-mates smiley2.gif  Well done to both of you smiley32.gif

Chilli: Great ride for your first time!  You made it look easy smiley10.gif

It was great relaxing with the TCS'ers afterwards (IanJ, Sonic, KayC, Gearjammer, Man with no name (why weren't you riding?), Epoh - I must have missed Beee), although I felt quite left out in my Club 100 jersey... don't worry guys, one more race & it's gone! smiley4.gif

Oh yeah.. and I finally met Thor Hurshovd... umm I mean ewep!! smiley8.gif

 

Great to meet all of you guys! smiley20.gif

Hi Guys

 

I know I promised to have the picks that Slowpoke took on Saturday up today, but as I am an IT-Virgin, I don't know how to make the pics smaller to download and I also don't have the software to do it. smiley9.gif 

 

So I will be going to SP's house tonight so she can do it and we will put them on!

 

Sorry guyssmiley9.gif
