Hope you are ok...
That corner is bad news even when everywhere else is ok.
Halstead to Launde abbey i sbought to be iffy tomorrow.
2006 Watched Geoff Platts fall off on the mud and ice, about 5 seconds after Snodin said I fell off here last year.
Bad luck, I was only thinking how nice your new Assos top looked last Sunday.

God first Melton really means a lot to some people!
Maybe put a bit of effort into racing and stop looking at the powertap, you'd be average

yep! thanks for waiting at Tilton - I was ready to chuck the towel in at that point! 
anyway, legs popped at Cossington on the way back so good call methinks.
Will try to get over to Melton again soon - don't you have any down hill exits from Melton????????

'Some people believe being first Melton is a matter of life and death.
I'm very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

Bryan, I think that you need to buy a set of stablizers not flashy Assos kit, how many times have you fallen off this winter? |

That's like Panta claiming first to Skeg last year 
The 'real' 1st Melton would have to be Jimmy C - very impressive yesterday. I very nearly blew my **** off on the way home, much to the amusement of Josh & JC - JC did give me a little tip tho if I really 'blew' - 'just ride into an old lady's garden and raid the bird feeder'
