With ribs feeling practically 100%, the Venge back in the stable and looking like new and an eagerness to get back into racing, I arrived at Tech Park and signed on as soon as I could, took a photo of the start list and began studying it. As expected, I new about 3 people on the list - including me. Simon arrived not long after me and queried me for a race plan. I had to be honest as I watched D grade zipping around the course and said, "no idea really." It's rare that I don't have some kind of game plan for a race but with such a large field (48 riders) and all but two others being an unknown, it was pretty much just going to be a "take it as it comes" type of race.

Back in Time for Australia Day Criteriums :: 24th January, 2013
While I have not posted anything of it, most of you who follow me on Strava or read this blog will know that on the 29th of December, 2012 I suffered my second crash for the calendar year and given it put me off the bike for the following week, it was certainly going to be my last one of the year. Of course, I've made a new year's resolution to ensure I keep the bike rubber side down for at least the duration of 2013 and preferably well beyond. The result of the crash was a fractured left seat stay and minor weave fractures in the top tube of the bike frame while personally, it was bruising to the pelvis and surrounding soft tissue, my fair share of bruised ribs and at least one fractured rib as a result of cleaning up a damned solid piece of kerb at 45km/h!
