Kings Park

There was a strong field for this race and an even stronger windchill factor. The snow made the course like riding through sand which was also rather unpleasant. I had high hopes for the race which were dashed on lap two. In the cold, despite a warm-up I pulled a muscle at the hurdles and was in bloody agony the rest of the race. I finished in 30th place which was my best placing of the season. Although I was last of the finishers I didnt end up last over all owing to riders who werent able or willing to finsih.
Im rider 30

Auchentoshan

Auchentoshan brought cheerier results than the week before. Dry weather and some brilliant singletrack made for some fun racing. I found myself moving up a group of riders and into my best result of the season in 35th. My favourite round so far.

Lochore Meadows Sadness

The muddiest event of the year so far was on the East Coast near Lochgelly for the Lochore Meadows Cylocross. Things were going so well untill 2 laps from home so much muck in my rear drailuer amd it explode.
The moral victory was mine however as I lifted the bike and ran a lap and a half to still finish the race. The picture is of the now dead rear part of the bike. The hanger is now my keyring.
