Thanks for the compliments guys!
I didn't think so many people would find this interesting. I realised it's been a while and I've come a long way since first doing a taster session at HHV in late 2022. I then went on to do training accreditation and then race accreditation mid last year. I had an injury around that time which stopped me from riding much and only started doing serious training at the beginning of 2024, so being bumped up to B grade after 6 months feels like an achievement.
I used to see the guys training at the track on Saturday mornings and thought they looked really hardcore not that long ago! Now I'm one of those weirdos with super narrow handlebars :)
