High:
New job at the start of the year
Low Come High:
Getting the payment for an injury from my SV crash and using a nice amount to go on holiday to Egypt in the summer.
High: My first race meeting and watching myself gather another race bike (that makes 2) and a sprinter van to get around in.
High: Three year anniversary with the girlfriend.
Low: Broken collarbone and missing out on saying hi to the SV bunch as they got angry about me wasting their trackday time with my broken engine casing.

A fairly good year to be honest, Just hoping for a repeat next year!

Definite lows include my own off and then not long after that of Hovis (which shook me up pretty badly as I was only just back on a bike and trying to regain confidence again). I've also had my poor mother having some sort of issue with her leg which means she now walks with a stick much of the time. Terror at their aging combined with my own aging combined with sympathy because I finally understood how scary losing mobility was after spending all that time hobbling around with a bad knee.

Still, some highs, including Mrs Metal finally finding a job (and then being promoted - fair dos she's working for her parents but that's better than many people have), finally getting our house redecorated and recarpetted, an excellent vacation in Spain, and some excellent trips away for drunken gatherings.

A memorable year for sure, and definite trepidation about the one coming up!

The lows were falling out with my sister a few days ago and so not seeing my nephew on his birthday.

3 friends leaving London: one to go back home to Australia, another signing for Gloucestershire after Surrey released him, and the third moving from Middlesex to Somerset so I won't see him so much of them unless they come and play at Lord's.

My achilles getting worse not better so I'm hobbling about like an old lady, which at 39 I'm now fast becoming.

The highs were having some great rides this year and meeting lots of people at the AR and Soho so I now have new friends.

Watching the Lancaster bomber fly over Lord's and meeting all the veterans - makes you realise how much we owe to the armed forces then and now.

My friend getting the job as England cricket Head Coach and then seeing England win the Ashes and we'll beat South Africa tomorrow too.

Lows
Some of the nastiness that surrounded the planning of AR09. I was shocked at how a few would be so unpleasant, when all I wanted to do was give something back to the org. But maybe I took it all too seriously
Stress at work which has made me seriously question whether I can keep going in a job I have loved for many years
Highs
AR09, in the end. Coming back to the Huntsman at the end of the ride was one of the biggest highs I've had in a long time
Increasingly close and understanding relationship wit my daughter, and the time spent with my angel of a granddaughter.

Happy 2010 everyone!

What she said!!!! (Except that I haven't become Mrs Carey, but married the lovely Miss Lily).

It was literally a year of two halfs as far as joy and sadness went. First half brilliant, second half too many bad things happened.

Anyway, to all orgers who have had sad things occur in 2009.....may 2010 be a blessing for you all. X
