That's kind of you mate.

That was bonkers. Muddy hell last year comes moderately close, but this was just nuts. Killer combination of water, clay soil and a circuit already churned up by the vets and women.

All better

Much better, you were carrying a lot of mud, the bloke with the cowbell commented on it.

How the hell does the drivechain work when it's that clogged??

From what I saw, slowly.

You need to work on your remount technique Howard, especially if you ever want to have children.

Was wet and muddy in Lewes today but not as muddy as that. Also your face looks too clean Howard and why are you not on your bike Chris?
Enjoyed today's race, not a great start as per usual but had a good race with two riders (Dynamo and Lewes CC) and droped them on the final lap which felt great :) Feel like fitness is coming along nicely.

You were top 20, Andrey no? Good result.

I bothered the top 20 last week at CXL - even with shit remounting technique.

It does not. You have to hope the gear you get stuck in is a useful one.

Spare bike, pitman and jet washer are your friends, but weekenders rarely have that option. Instead you stop and scoop the worst of it out.

Yeah, just seen the results - happy with that. The target was to finish mid field, maybe with a better start could have placed a few spots higher.

Well done Andrey - strong work.

why are you not on your bike Chris?

I'd already raced so I joined the rest of the 40+'s in heckling the seniors.

For which I was thankful for - was good motivation not to pack it in after one lap.

The downhill! Oh my days.

Forgot you are racing with the Juniors :)

Bloody hell ^^

Just be relieved that I'm not going to push you into any more trees for a few years?

Anyway, my legs have finally stopped bleeding after in impromptu foray into a thorn bush.

Man that must have been FUN!

Has anyone else signed up for Supercross Ally-pally by the way?

I'll probably be in Luton for Central league.

Well done Andrey. You sticking to your heavy racing schedule? Will be flying by December!

The downhill! Oh my days.

Nice greengrocer's apostrophe. :)

You forget sometimes how bonkers cyclo-cross can be.

I loved the bit at the end when Bina thinks of his sponsor's logo, only to see that there's no hope of revealing it ...

From what I can make out, Helen Wyman came second in the Womens.

She did. Nikki Harris, reigning British Champion, won.
