Stephen Roche GP - Wednesday 20th June

[Morty]

This race is a super fast handicapped event around Stephen Roche and Smithers estate, it only for A3's up this year, and with the nationals this weekend Nicolas Roche might make a guest appearance, always good for spectating. I'm going up to this one any other takers?

It was a mars bar actually!!

I'm in bits road rash from my ear to my foot, a guy hit the kerb and came down in front of me I couldn't avoid it, lap out and wheel change later I got back into the race but after a few laps the pain set in and more dodgy riding made me decide to put out.

Watched this race a few times and it always looks really hairy! Poor old Morty ..... survives 8 days of the RAS and then nearly kills himself riding around Smither's back garden!

It was cool, myself and canto watched it all. They even had Pedro Delgado presenting the prizes.
