If I could make a suggestion for next year.
How about a couple of training sessions in the weeks before hand to stop some of us (ie me) riding like complete pillocks. Thank goodness my battery died and saved me from further embarrassment. Two crashes on my practice lap and heavens knows how many involuntary dismounts.
Andy, I doubt that I would have survived seven more laps. I was very apprehensive of broken limbs and am quite sure that I would have been rushed to King's if I had gone much further. My soreness comes mainly from my falls in practice. I found undressing last night quite difficult as the blood had stuck my knee warmers to me. I had cuts and bruises in places that I didn't realise had been bumped.
