Herne Hill Saturday Training

I didn't think it was that windy actually... It was difficult to get comfortable out there with all the new inductees around, it's hard for someone like me who isn't a beginner but who also isn't fit/experienced/confident enough to go in with the intermediates... I just wanted to get a few laps under my belt but it wasn't to be today... And my bars are too narrow, I need to go up from 40s to 42s, and steel not aluminium... They are bendy as fuck...

So what is someone who's ridden the track twice in three years if not a beginner? sorry mate [d.creasy] You're a NOVICE![/d.creasy]
