Firstly, massive thanks to Will for getting me there for the start of Catford on time.
Turns out you make good grub to.
The results are up for both:

I'm really happy about Catford, managed 8th place and very close to some prize money, the atmosphere was amazing and next year I hope to have a new bike and some stronger legs.
I was a bit rushed to the start and the wheel was slipping in parts but not enough to complain as it's the same for everyone.
Can't believe how close I got to a top 10 here, joint 11th by 0.1 seconds. I felt I rode this harder ... I felt horrendous at the finish, but I placed lower so I don't know what went wrong. It started to rain when I was on the start line but I had no problems on the way up at all, don't think it affected times as people put in sub 2 min times at the end and there wasn't any leaves/gravel/mud on the road.
Massive thanks to those that cheered, you don't see faces when riding it but you defently know your being watched and it gives you a massive boost to get to the line.
Stelle I have a shoe lace you might need?
There must be more photos than that, no?
