Boxing Day Ride. Well what can we say the first organized day when the Club members met unofficially to join in what can only be described as an Excellent Feast of biking Madness which went off without any problems and was a real success thanks to the way the members rallied around and seamlessly (well nearly) organized a timed practice run. With seamless uplifts, thanks in part to Andy for the van and to Mr Edges time for being the white van man driver. No sooner had we all got in the van than we we're getting out at the top of the uplift.

After arriving at the track reasonable early well 10:30 to be exact I managed to get in a respectable 7 runs before the officially timed run at around 13:00. All the riders were running well some better than others. I had managed to have more than a few offs before the race even started and thought I'd come off lightly after a really good crash which saw me sitting on the side of the track for around 10 minutes just trying to get my breath back. It has to be said side impact on the SP2 wouldn't go amiss I thought that this was my only injury till I arrived home later that day to what can only be described as a serious car crash injuries to my thighs one of which had swollen to the size of a tennis ball, now two weeks on and the swelling has gone down but the bruises have been the best they started red and blue then black and blue now they look worse than ever with green, yellow, red and blue all mixed in making my thigh look more like a piece of art work for some third year Art College student All the same it was well worth the suffering and as for the rest of the riders......................Well I could write all day Jamie Eds had 2 good falls on his timed run much to the crowds pleasure and J's dismay he'd had some really good runs before that happened needless to say it went from bad to worse, as he came off once again that I know of and may have been more.
