That was nuts. I didn't race - got there too late and actually I was glad because I found HH terrifying the first time (only other time) I rode there, and I didn't fancy being the moving chicane yet again. So instead I watched.
So many broken bikes. My god.
So many good spirits despite all that.
Erm, and then I came 3rd overall in the women's Summer Series and went on the podium and sprayed champagne and everything and felt enormously like an imposter!
I've been blogging about my cyclocross attempts and you can read about last night's here, if you so wish: https://lambonabike.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/last-of-the-summer-series/
Although I hated it (and myself) at times, I'm really glad I gave cyclocross a go - everyone's been ridiculously kind and supportive. Special thanks to @lardboy. Hope you all get your bikes fixed.
