Bike:Van Tuyl
Distance: 40 miles
4 hour session.
First two hours was an A+B SQT session with the big boys. Nice hard workout. One chap managed to snap his crank retaining bolt and off his cranks came. He did well to keep it up, amazing how fast it all happened, me and the lad in front of me were right behind him and we were all going full tilt doing the coaches new invention which shall now be known as ‘the cranksnapper’. QUality entertainment. We had a scratch race where the pace got totally awesome. I got dropped in the last couple of laps but we were really going absolutely balls flat out. I reckon I was the oldest in the last 5 sprinters over the line. 
Second session was helping out at an induction but we still rode quite quickly at times. Another scratch race, at least I came second in this one, and then only behind by a wheel of a clearly experienced bloke. I quite fancy some proper racing. I know I’m well quicker than one of the guys who races and he was telling me he has won a few in his class, and I doubt he’s a vet. Best bit of this session was we did the derny. After we’d all had a go behind the derny the coach opened it right up. WOOOOO!!! How fast were we going??? Blimey, the compression in the corners was immmense.
