Ha ha! Glad you noticed the missed cog swop, made her lose quite a distance and she fell back away from the rider she was gaining on, it seemed to make her more determined and when she passed him she did it with vengeance. I love watching Jenny ride, it puts a huge smile on my face, she has style, courage and determination
When you look at women competing in most sports whether is running or any other physical trial they can not compete with men, I know it's a strength issue that men are generally physically stronger therefore are faster, stronger and have more physical endurance. But women often have more determination than guys and what they lack in physical strength they more than make up for in dogged determination, they don't give up where often blokes will just say 'Oh! Bollock s to it' and give up, where as women just keep going and carry on until it's done.
Well that's our Jenny for you, she has dogged determination, she does not ever give up and she has the riders skill set to match all the blokes on the track, no ones says of Jenny that 'she is just a girl' cos she can kick their arses. And the icing on the very sweet cake is she is incredibly fit in every sense of the word. :rolleyes

The CBR1000 Blade that she has been riding up till now has been her own bike, she spins her own spanners and get her hands greasy. But for 2017 she rides officially as a Honda team rider on the new team CBR1000.
I really hope and pray that this is her year.
In some ways I would like her to not race the Island again, it's gruelling and harsh and it rips people apart.
I going to spend a bit of time reading up on her schedule/calendar for 2017.
Any way Graham you and the Mrs will have a brilliant time.
I'm sure and you will come back with lots of tales of manic speeds, daring overtakes, humungus wheelies and heart stopping moments. Not to mention a shed full of stuff that you purchased, badges, jackets, tee shirts, gloves, sew on patch badges, Oh! and don't forget to bring the Mrs back.
Great Graham have a ball mate, fill your boots.
I not going to say I am jealous of you, but I look like I have been eating much to much spinach. :look
