I really liked this format as it gave me something to race for. I have improved in fitness and skill over the years in CX but I'm never going to win in the seniors and was losing motivation so the B races gave me a reason to race and I pushed harder in them than normal races.
I missed the first of the series at Rouken Glen as the ankle was still healing but I made it to round 2 at Rozelle PArk in Ayr for the Doonbank Trofee where I was actually in the A race. It was a total mudfest and no matter what race I was in I would not have enjoyed it. there was no part I enjoyed slogging through thick clay for an hour.

The next round was in Kirkcaldy for the Beveridge Park GP. I was in the B-Race for this but raced hard, despite almost missing the start, to finish 20th which I was really pleased with. It was mucky but I managed it all on one bike and a small park road climb offered me a chance on every lap to power past the field.
Last up was my first entry into the Dig in the Dock which to be honest is the best race Ive had or been involved in. Its a great course and suited me perfectly. I managed a solid 18th place and I am sure a gridding would have gained me a few more places. I was also lucky enough to win a KASK helmet in the rider number raffle at the end.
