As I have been lazy writing up my races they have now all blurred into
one. Sufficient to say my positioning in the larger bunches is bad, I
know where I should be but somehow end up towards the back. I have
problems with sprinting out of the corners probably because I am at the
back and am receiving the fill whiplash effect.
I have had a couple of ‘moments’ one good and the other bad.
First the bad, on the 16 May I was hit by a car that didn’t stop when
they were coming onto a roundabout, the roundabout was the junction 11
one near Hythe. It was a ‘big off’ which eventually left me 40yards from
the collision, as I was dragged along by the car, lying in the middle
lane of the 3 lanes. Luckily a car in the middle did stop in time so
live to cycle another day. I am having physio on my left knee but my bad
shoulder is now a lot worse as it took the initial impact with the car
and then the road. However I really believe I was the luckiest person
alive that day to get away so lightly from the crash.
Next the good news, I won a race at the Gravesend Cyclopark on the 18-June-13
