Brighton Big Dog 2012 - The aftermath

[BobCatMax]

Top, top day. In fact, I might even go so far as to say better than last year, despite the conditions.

Good to see lots of familiar faces, and very nice to meet some new ones.

will post up a report later as I'm ruined

I can only add to what max has said, fantastic day realy enjoyed myself,
first time i have ever entered a race and very pleased with my lap times a big thanks to Marcus for being my pairs partner ...would have been nice to get on the podium but as the other teams were about twenty or thirty years younger than me im not to upset
just have to put in a bit more trainind for next year !!

Good to see you guys today.
Sorry for polluting the reto area with my modern muck

Had a fantastic day. First lap was horrid, but they got better and better.
Had more spills than I can remember, but got told by one of the stewards that I rode one very tricky section better than he'd seen anyone else manage all day! It was my last lap, and I'd stopped worrying about hurting myself

Now sat in a b&b in Dover, ready for my epic drive tomorrow

Nice to see everyone, even if it was usually just whizzing past the Retrobike lair.

Perfect conditions on the day really, I was fretting about the rain all week, changing tyres and wheels. There were some nice retro bikes flying around the course, Cannondale Killer V, GT etc. Its fun to race retro at least once a year.
