Cycled into town as i had to drop the bike back in for a few minor adjustments before making my way to the NEW meeting point on Hickson Road that Mikey pulled rank on ( then preceded to be late for)
Big crowd on show with the return of Brit Olympic Boys Tommy H, Skippy Heyden and Slim Sammy Agnew, good to see Kanser, Clyde and Fats back out there as well after a few weeks in hibernation.
On another glorious day in Sydney town, i took it out fairly strong on the first rep sitting just behind front runners Tucks, Kanser and Heyden, and slightly ahead of Razor, Tom and Mikey's crew.
The next few reps were pretty much the same averaging between 3.16s to 3.20 pace, Poor Mikey Conway was shouting himself hoarse telling everyone to 'Keep Left' on the return leg each time, I must admit i did have a few problems getting past Clyde's wide berth myself ...............Looks like he's back keeping share prices up at 'Pie Face' once more.
All was going OK until about 8 seconds to go on the 5th rep, and i felt exactly the same twinge as i did last Sunday, Tried to do effort 6 but knew after about 30 seconds that i couldn't and ended up walking back to the start. Got the customary abuse from certain quarters as they went by on there 7th rep (Jeez, its a tough crowd out there......no sympathy these days it seems)
As i stood contemplating where i go from here, Andy Heyden called it a day after 8 reps so just jogged back into town with him, hearing about his Games Exploits and the HuRTS drunken behaviour that took place - More Shame :)
Looks like a few more forced days off now yet again, hope this isn't going to become a regular occurrence ?
BTW. Who was the Geezer today that was doing his best E.J impression on the start of every rep for about 60 seconds only to die on his @rse after that? He was old enough to be Hardman J.Cs father so he should know better :)
