Reckon I might have a crack......all I have to do now is convince my boss.
In the meantime I am definately going to have to get out to Kew and ride a
few crits to get some idea of how they work. Might have to put in a few big
hills on the BR rides too and get Hippy and Dutch to give me some tips on
sprinting (IMHO I'm a stayer, not a sprinter).

Ride On,

Gags

Pedal really fast in a big gear. :-)

Or use your natural talent to break and stay away
from the bunch. I should point out that breakaways
succeed far less than sprinters (imho).
Seriously though, race and you will learn..
Oh, and pick a big, fast guy to sit behind before the
sprint and make sure you are up near the front!
Why the hell am I telling you my secrets!? ;-)

EEK! it's hard enough to run up some of the hills in the training area -
up the goat track it's so steep in 2 sections that you literally slide
backwards unless you slow to a walk. Even at my peak fitness (when I did
Cairns half ironman) my heart rate shot through the roof when walking
it. Truly a terrifying MTB concept...
