(I lost) but thanks all the same, i think beast is a compliment!
I did put in the fastest female qualifying time, which when compared to the very fast male times wouldn't of even placed me. there's a distinct lack of women into the rollapaluza, which is a shame. Pub + beer + beat the clock = fun!
This time last year i'd done little cycling but often over the previous two years, so i had a steady level of fitness but not great. On the eve of this year's qualifiers i've had a dislocated knee, two broken ribs and a severe case of the lazies in the past 9 months ...so not feeling optimistic but it's a fun night in the pub regardless.
If there's a round local to you, giving it a go really is great fun and you may even surprise yourself!

Glad you enjoyed the event.
We had 21 women take part in London out of 76 participants, so just over 30% .....this is about the usual percentage for our events, we're pretty sure that this is higher than most cycling events and we'd love to see more!

Ooo welcome to BCF, don't venture into the 'last post wins' thread in this section. You WILL have nightterrors!
On a side note... how did you find this post.
I enjoyed the Brum event as I didn't go with the intention of taking part, the last minute decision to pop down to London in the car for the finals was exactly that, if i'd have had time to think about it, I'd of chickened out, i'm sure!
Miss Socks was an excellent bird to go up against, we were sat outside the pub having a ''fresh air'' when we were called in for the finals ha! ____________________ Insta - FemFeral |

You m'am have an awesome dog and life it would seem.
For road bikes get a few friends and do a sportive, the banter, competitiveness and achievement factor were enough for me. But, yes it is full of almost death (just like motorcycles) but that is part of the fun for me.
One memory I still hold dear is 2 friends and I taking a steep descent for about 4 miles and touching 50 mph for a while now that was an amazing feeling... Oh and being stung by a wasp mid ride, that was interesting.
Maybe I shall invite you to our next, don't worry we are poo at cycling now the summer has gone ____________________ 08/11/2007 A2 Passed.
