You'll be ok, just remember to lock the car, Bacup isn't the most crime free of areas!

And there are 20 Gispy caravans on the car park at the moment

Yep, I'm aiming to do it again, see if I can beat last months result which was 7th. Also taking a few mates, 2 of which could well kick my ass so making my goal harder!

This time I'll ride the Kona rather than the Carbon, but both Retro

Was a good do, good weather, big feild, happy people; not sure where I finished. Lead most of lap 1, then dropped a few places, lap 4 was awful but recovered at the end, and the last lap (#7?) I took a couple of places back.

Maybe finished 6/7th in the end, will have to wait for the results to be published, as I left as soon as I had finished to watch the F1 !!
