I'm guessing Killarney is a go this evening?

My first of 2012, looks like 23C with a 30kph Southerly

Anyone know if there were any serious injuries in the crash? I hope everyone is ok.

The wind made it not nice!

WTF were we doing on that side of the track anyway?!!? The slow guy was perfectly within his rights to be riding where he was on the right-hand side.

I want to attend these sessions in the future.

The regular crashes are concerning me.

Are riders following reasonable bunch riding skills?
Are there some risk-takers?
Are some segments of the course more high-risk than others?

Are riders following reasonable bunch riding skills? What is that when you are fighting for scraps (read slip)!
Are there some risk-takers? Yes, but like in any other race. I think the constant corners, wind, guttering and attacks together brings the risks more to the fore.
Are some segments of the course more high-risk than others? I don't think so. Riders make segments more risky.

Dale you can always start in +1 where the pace, although not that much slower, is more even. Hopefully scratch will catch you and then you can join in at the back if you want.
