CONDOR BUCKSTONE FLANDERS EVENT -THANKS

Thanks to everyone from the condor and imps who supported a successful event.
The only problem was an accident on a straight section of tarmac road coming down from buckstones in Race 2 which I understand was caused by a rider switching causing two riders to fall. Both riders (Lee Johnson & Stephen Wilkinson) ended up with gravel rash. Lee Johnson had significant lacerations; St Johns ambulance support vehicle attended and whilst they concluded that no breakages had occurred, requested ambulance support. We hope Lee recovers soon and is able to compete again in 2015.The paradox was on the rough road and off road sections no incidents were reported. The feedback from the racers was all positive. Yes its true
Anyway to prove a point I received an Email from mike twelves ( ex Pro) winner of race 2
Thanks to you and your collegues for an excellent race today, John. A great, imaginative course and really well marshalled and organized
Also an email from Karl Smith in race 1
 Hi John,
Must thank you and all the helpers for running such a fantastic event today.
You would not believe how many riders said how much they enjoyed the course and race today.

Thanks Karl Smith, Bott Cycle Team. A/B race.
