You can say that again, wow what a day!!! Especially the unfortunate crash and then "punch-up"...  at the U16 points race, and the people's (parents) reaction after that...ShockedShockedShocked

 

But as you said, it was in the heat of the moment.... and the boys involved overreacted...Ouch

 

Anyway, the racing in general was very good!!!!

Attempt by a mixed team on a SA Record in the team pursuit. Excellent effort by Jay, Chrissie, Juan & Bradley -- unfortunately missed out by 3 or 4 seconds

Ladies - Fire have us all a terrible fright - had an asthma attack, and literally passed out on the bike, shortly after this pic. She received some oxygen and nebulising - was fragile, but ok ...

And as Fire was still semi unconcious, we had a fire of a different sort, coals falling from the burning roof! Racing stopped till after a visit from the fire department!
