Good Friday Racing - Castle Combe Circuit

I fancy racing this (4th cat) as my 1st race in about 20 years, anyone know what time I need to be there and what the cost of entry is?
Oh and I'm a fat unfit 36 year old, so how many laps will I manage before I get dropped :oops:

Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!

be wery, there will be sprints/attacks but pace shouldnt be too bad for the main bunch atleast until the end, ofcourse thats relative to what your comfortable pace happens to be. nobody at the back of the bunch for the first few laps will be towards the front at the finish thats for sure. its only 25miles after all.
I'll be the one quietly praying...

I'm up for this wa going to ask if you fancied it, the racing that is.
Happy to drive as I have the racks on the roof.
If you fancy a ride on the weekend we can have a chat about transport then, I think Bennyboy might come down and race as well as Dave from the shop (thats my lead out train sorted then
Let me know! (sorry if jumping in too much here...)

Ha ha, I'll be lucky to survive the opening lap behind the lead car, you're more than welcome to join the fun though, if I can help I will (unless I am up there in the sprint
I'll be the idiot on a prolite, with a white LAS helmet.

got an email through the other day and there werent many other email addresses on it so its not looking over crowded at the moment
hope current weather at this exact second shows up friday
Still it'll be a laugh if nothing else
I believe so, I ride for Pontypool RCC these days, such is the folly of choosing a forum name based on your current club. Which one are you in?
Forecast is pants - think i'll bring the winter bike with mudguards and wear a fancy dress outfit....

weather is looking miserable
What CAT is everyone racing tomorrow?
whereabouts do you live? There are plenty of non Cardiff based clubs with a good size and good riders regularly racing.

I did... sadly. Mad a stupid error of sitting on a right newbie's tail and before I knew it after about lap 3 after the 2nd chicane, I was off the back with 2 Corinium riders for company.
Tactically stupid is me!
I feel we chased valiently... but got caught around the last corner.
Anyone else notice that the laps seemed a little odd? I think the leaders did 1 more than they should've!

Jesus, it was my second race ever but 1st race this year. Need to do a LOT more training!
PS Feel like Cr*p

Git... hehe... Pity you gave up mate. If you'd have held on with the chase bunch, we managed to finish just after we were lapped!

I havent raced yet and don't intend to until its warmer
I much prefer to get longer rides in at the moment to build endurance, then do a few track rides to get speed up, then race. Trouble with racing at this stage is it is like paying £15 to train for short miles and not be competative, bit expensive
Once I feel like I am going well enough to have a go off the front or to contest sprints I will have a go.
Will be in wales next week or week after for go onthe track and maybe road ride over the bwlch or rhigos weather permitting.
