i returned to racing yesterday courtesy of Alans bmx, he asked me would i like to have a crack at racing 24 cruiser in the 40+
(jesus that hurts) theres no pressure he tells me!!!
 
so i win my first race in driving rain and wind and my 2nd (iam stunned this is a national and the track is pretty damn technical compared to when i used to race) . and Alan says well ya got to win the final now ,,, check out this link and click on

 40+ cruiser A final,, check the conditions and my sketchy return to racing  Anyway iam hooked and i might just give this lark a try in future...
