It has been quite a few years since I last raced my bike in a cycling race. Well, I’m back!

Last night I made the treck out to the Hillingdon Circuit, in Hayes - west of London. They have a closed road circuit, about 0.93 miles in length, and about 6m wide.

There were about 60 riders in my category, which was quite a lot for the size of the road/circuit. One thing that is different with racing here in the UK, compared to back in Australia: if you cut into somebody’s line whilst cornering, you will get a smack in the chops! Not so here. They are all very polite about it.

I guess that is why the Britons are doing so incredibly well on the Professional Cycling scene! (NOT!)

Anyway, I finished the race, even with the very small amount of training that I have been doing.

I think I will do quite a few more of these races, run each Tuesday evening until August.

Who knows, I may even belt a Pom for cutting into my line!

We had a wonderful trip to Australia, even if it was only for a week.

Amanda and Steve had a great wedding up in Nagambie, with beautiful weather making it even more special.

The week in Melbourne was very hectic, with doctor appointment, dentist appointments, general important stuff, and we were lucky enought to catch up with most of our special friends.

Stay tuned for some pictures from the trip.
