Non-attendance due to family committments - work is busy, and too little time spent with family lately, so cycling has to be the thing that is compromised. 

However, I do not see any need to avoid racing in case I might be re-graded to B grade.  If it happens it happens, and I am comfortable in either C grade or B grade - there are people in both grades who can comfortably beat me and have done so, and there are people in both grades who I can easily beat and have beaten.  No big deal - it is all racing.

I am very impressed with the number of A graders who turn up - many of whom are in A grade on the road as well.  Those of us in the lower grades on the road might note that a fair number of A graders see track as of some benefit to their cycling...
