yeah! one of the best around London.
I must have been on the start line with a cracked pedal bar without realising it. Cue failing to clip in on the start, losing loads of places and the sight of the leaders until we hit the muddy double track bit, when I finally managed to get my foot in and get going.
Some of the corners were still pretty slippery and I was having to unclip a load and getting back in to the pedal was getting harder and harder until with two laps to go it decided enough was enough and disintegrated entirely, leaving me skating around on the pedal unable to get any real power down out of my left leg. I managed to pootle round to the end, only losing one place in the process, so not all bad considering.
Jon.

Halton yesterday was great. Really fun and technical course. I wasn't gridded so was behind everyone when they decided to crash into each other on the first corner, but made my way up the field and the provisional results show me as 32nd out of 80. I was running 34/17 and seemed to be loosing a tiny fraction of time on the flatter parts but catching people on the technical bits, bmx skills paying off I think.
