yogi said… - hi josh you closed a forum thread like this
whatever I do or don't do, it's not useful for me to reflect on the issue in open forum.
i actually think the opposite. I think open forums are a great tool to get a point across or figure out a line of thought I had not seen earlier etc.
just wanted to share that

- Josh - after your post I looked at ratetheplate which I had not known about. On prior occasions I had gone to police stations to make reports but it takes ages. Yesterday I was severely cut off by AL55DX near the fishmarkets (would have ploughed into the car if I had not just adjusted my brakes). Now ratetheplate seems to be not working. Do you know any more about that site?

Drastic said… - Hi Josh,
Yes that's me. Beauie is hard work but good fun. Laps are about 5 1/2 to 6 minutes and you do x minutes plus 2 laps depending on your grade. It's basically up and down a fairly wide smooth road through an industrial estate. Slightly downhill on the way out, and uphill on the way back. 180 degree corners at either end. As with any crit the pace is always on out of each corner and gaps can form although most crits I've done there has been a bunch has spirnt. The sprint has a bit of an uphill lead out but flattens out before the line which is always further away than you think so don't go too early.
Not sure if it's just me but the pace always seems higher for the first 10 minutes or so and then relaxes a bit. Lots of people get shelled from the start but then it could be just my lack of warm-up.
Cheers,
Richard / Drastic.
