Strathclyde Park Cyclocross 17.10.10

After a heavy case of sinusitis and a chest infection, maybe taking part at Strathclyde cyclo cross wasn’t the best idea and it certainly didn’t feel like it after 1 lap. I had thought though “Come last sitting at home or come last at the event!”
In the end I didn’t come last and surprised myself by overtaking a few people that I didn’t expect to on the last couple of laps. I even managed to get my photo without my mouth wide open panting for air!

Cyclo Cross

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Probably down to the fact I’ve done little or no mountain biking of note. That doesn’t mean there hasn’t been off roading of the two wheeled variety. As mentioned before I have also been the proud owner of a CUBE X-Race Pro cyclo cross bike. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?PartnerID=79&ModelID=44411
With this in mind I decided to enter the Scottish Cyclo-Cross scene and with no regrets I am having a whale of a time. The first round was at Meadowmill where I placed 47th and second round was in Plean Country Park where a more cross country style course saw me finish 41st.
It’s great fun and there is a super atmosphere at all the races. I have been racing with Walkers Cycles and the team are very supportive with riders in all the disciplines (female, veteran and seniors)
The next round is Sunday 17th in Strathclyde Park.
