I think I want to make an apology of sorts. For a bloke who years ago decided to keep his cycling a pleasurable and stress relieving pursuit rather than making it a competitive race oriented one, my posts here sure have focussed on numbers a bit too bloody much after two races with midfield packfodder results. Not really my desired focus. So please disregard some of that **** and replace it with the fact that I've had a great time getting fitter earlier after winter than I normally would, have enjoyed some great riding, improved my skills, found a community I'd like to spend more time in, met some great people, and um, realised just how instinctive competitive behaviour is in myself. Nothing wrong with that, I guess, but hopefully I can avoid being a tosspot about it. Hmm.
