That was a good clean race, only saw a few people tussling (pointlessly) but no crashes and lots of good communication.

Positioning is key going into the final few laps, as is not drinking scotch!

The wheeler who attacked early and won was handy too ;)

There is a bunch of photos also, the sprint ones are ace!

I'm quickly learning the points come down to positioning and ability to spot/exploit gaps in the last couple laps rather than all out fitness.

Finally managed to get my positioning a bit better in the last two laps and came home with some points (that's me in the fluoro gloves in the middle).

Agree, Cat 4 at Hillingdon isn't a test of fitness per se. My team mate, the guy mouth wide open, manages to stay near the front all race when I seem to get rotated around.

I'm going to get myself on the reserve list for the weekend, only need 2 points after that shock win.
