what was your biggest thrill in racing

[bibendium]

not neccessary your best win but it might be, but biggest kick you have had. mine was seeing a red cock coming from rennes  in a very hard NE wind, wasnt till 9 on the second morning but we watched him coming for a mile or so before he landed he was clapping all the way.

seing my yearing hen coming home from hesting 483 miles after anly being at 135 miles before hestins taking 12th place in fed well chuffed that day sing her coming over the house

[mark croker]

watching a young blue hen coming first to the gardens and getting in with someones birds that had let out and could not get them in before the race,,    Just as my partner was going to kill him, a little dark cheq come shooting in between the houses and straight in the loft like a rocket, my heart missed a beat as we ran for it, to take first club second fed,  that was in 2000 now,

In 2007 on a 342km race my YB came in first out of 336 birds clocked for the race @ a velocity of 2041meters per minute . He came high out of the sky & we only found out that evening after striking out & the results came , that he has won the race & has broken a 40yrs record in the club .

 

[stantheman]

mine was timing in only bird on day from saintes, can still see her now coming straight as an arrow over dobbies garden centre what a feeling when you know there arnt many about and you get one cannot beat it thats why i prefer the longer races

[micci]

my first ever thrill was winning my first red card with a little blue hen, way back in the past, but i can still see her in my minds eye..The other was with a mealy cock that won Basingstoke, 2nd Fed, Then the following week won Gurnsey, week off, then won me Poitiers 400 odd miles and i think it was 2nd or 3rd fed, i won the club by an hour, and we had some top names in the club, Les Davenport being one of them.. I lost this Cock from Bergerac, looked for him for Months
