Wow Lynne soldier on! I got tired just recreating all
that racing AND driving in my head. I agree that the
practice and pointers are very helpful in being much
more prepared for making good decisions. Now I just
need to put them into use in a race. 
Some hard mt. biking has been really good for the
technical skills too.
Butt back, pedal through indeed!   MarkA
