well a few of the guys have been asking why i havent been around,so heres the low-down,i have over the last 3 years suffered mild strokes,for no apparent reason,after many consultations it was diagnosed as a problems with my spine{ crashed my feckin bike too much }which when out of alignment was cutting blood flow and causing the blockage.and i was basically told they couldnt fix things,so more specialists,eventually a risky solution was found ,and i had an op to fuse the vertibrae, to stop them getting out of alignment,op seemed to go ok but movement was not coming back as quickly as expected, which was due to an infection,which needed another op :-(, since then recovery has been slow,but things are gradually getting back up to speed,and whilst im not 100% im well on the way.
i probably wont be racing as much at r2p,mainly because i dont enjoy pick-up racing,but i will catch a race when i can,to keep in touch.

cheers
