Thanks guys. You did Rach proud
I didn’t get chance yesterday but will raise a glass today. I wouldn’t have liked to hussle you and Rach at pool, that’s for sure
Karl, I've only just looked at this forum for the first time in several days - I'm very sorry to hear the news about Rach, my sincere condolences to you. My wife is starting to look concerned at how much I've been drinking over Xmas but raising a glass to Rach tonight will give me just the excuse I need to carry on before getting all sensible and healthy again - so cheers to you and RachThanks guys. You did Rach proud
Best wishes and take care 
Yes, I worked for Amlin Underwriters from 1999 to 2004 then I did a couple of contracts for Catlin and Canopius underwriters. Loved working in and around the Lloyd's building and Leadenhall Market.
The Lamb Tavern became Rach and my second home for a few years. Lots of great memories.
Not heard of Christopher Moran, I was back office (Finance and IT).

My deepest condolences Carl, I really can't imagine what you are feeling right now, although it sounds as though your Rach had her head on right, and did as much as she could to prepare you for what was to come.
I'll be raising a bottle of vintage claret to you both tonight 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Stage 3 of the BC South Christmas LIZR Series last night - Rising Empire 20kms.
Over 100 riders in the Cat. C race ( I'll get my excuses out the way first - no proper warm up plus worked night shift so very little sleep ).
Start was very quick and I missed the lead group & also my club mate who had managed to cling on to the second group. I struggled up the first climb of the KOM, but did manage to catch a few of the heavier riders. By the time we were climbing the KOM for the second time my clubmate was in sight and I now felt stronger, I managed to catch him and open a gap of 20 seconds which I managed to hold to the finish.
Dropped a few places in GC, now 36th, which I expected after the Hilly stage.
I like the GC concept for the series adds a good bit of fun along with the competitiveness.
Final stage is tomorrow 2 laps of Tick Tock so hopefully I'll be able to gain back a few places on GC......

What time is the race tomorrow ... I'll see if I can join you and test my racing legs. If I can lend a wheel to you I will, but I'm assuming I'll be dropped pretty sharpish so won't be much help

Yep - Wendy and I are doing Dry Jan. We also did Dry November.
December was decidedly NOT dry
I won't be able to ride this year, but I have great memories of the feltet series from last year. I'm assuming this is the same series?
This was my first racing series back after my cardio all clear, racing in C cat with @mjd1988 @Whorty @Brendan Parker and @Freelanderuk . I loved the team aspect of the racing and the support from feltet and the reporting of each stage was excellent.
This was also where we had the memorable mistranslation of Peterson winning a stage after he he had died. A notable achievement that was discussed in all of the following races before Peterson completed his resurrection by accidentally getting himself upgraded to B cat.
I also did the same and finished the series by being dropped in the B cat race almost straight out of the pen.
Some good memories there of a well run series.
