Righto then, did my first crit today. What a blast!!
They put me in 'C' grade so's the handicapper could keep an eye on me and make sure I didn't do anything silly. 21 riders, 55 minutes + 1 after the bell.
I managed to move up near the front a few times, but partially through not having the legs (them surges are 'kin hard) and not concentrating enough on what was going on up front, i always managed to slide back. The last lap was pretty hectic and got pretty strung out but I was wrapped that I stayed with the bunch 'till then and didn't finish last.
So now I'm officially in 'D' grade.

Roll on next weekend!!
