Loft Manager Posted August 7, 2005 Report Posted August 7, 2005 Race 2 from Selby again is scheduled for Saturday (13th Aug). Looking at the long range weather forecast, it'll be partly cloudy with a north-west wind. Much the same as race 1 then! Still no sign of 11 or 12 from Saturday Loftman
Loft Manager Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Posted August 8, 2005 I'll put training in the week before the race in the topic of that weeks race. They were over at the beach this morning, couple of miles, two'd up
Loft Manager Posted August 9, 2005 Author Report Posted August 9, 2005 Yesterday night (yesternight?? lol) anyway... I took them 20 miles, up in 2 groups the hens came slightly better than the cocks, but neither did a lightening time! This afternoon, just about dodging the rain they went 20 miles, they beat me home with the last 6 or so miles in rain,,, it didnt look like it was going to rain when I took them, honest!! lol
Guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 I think the rain in Teesside will have caught a lot out Yesternight (9/8) as I nearly took mine up, but it closed in b4 I had the chance, so I just let em out. When it came to getting the drowned rats in a batch of trainers went other really slow and 7 dropped out and sat on my house roof all night. They all went this morning but they will certainly know they had a night out, I just hope they made it home!!!
Loft Manager Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 Yes is was a bit rough wasnt it, #15 nighted out that night, but returned the next morning, I guess she didnt like the rain! Yesterday they went 20 miles again, and tonight, just missing the rain again.
Loft Manager Posted August 13, 2005 Author Report Posted August 13, 2005 The race was put back 24 hours due to bad weather, so they had another 20 miler on Friday evening.

Loft Manager Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Posted August 15, 2005 They were liberated at 9:05am after a 1 day holdover. I've updated the ratings and race details on the site. Afraid I'm away now until tomorrow, when I'll do the newsletter, and race report bits and pieces.
