WCMCC Dog Hill Road Race - A Grade :: 26th May, 2013

Not my usual punctuality with my race report this week due to travel commitments so this post comes to you from Hong Kong and includes as much as I can remember about Sunday as I can. I warn that lap descriptions may be a little hazy so I will avoid trying to tell you what happened on a lap-by-lap basis and just point out the main events of the race. I certainly recall looking forward to getting down to Dog Hill and joining the other members of the Unicorn-Hall Cycing Team (men and women) and to finally get the chance to race alongside Brad for the first time at WCM.

PDCC Dog Hill Road Race - B Grade :: 11th May, 2013

Today's race would be my first attendance at a Peel Districts Club event and it generated a similar sense of "Oh my God, I'm such a noob" as I drove down to Dog Hill wondering what this event would be like. Yes, I drove down because I had already put 75kms into my legs with my usual Saturday morning group trundle around the river. I was not the only one as I had passed Mel Robinson giving Paul Foxwell a run for his money along Victoria Ave and she had come down to compete in the C grade event. The question would be how well I would handle having these kilometres in my legs when it came to the crunch.
