Racing today at Aston Hill DH3. I'm a bit indifferent about my performance today, on the plus I chose correctly racing the 140mm trail bike instead of the DH bike, it didn't merit a DH bike. On the down side not enough tyre clearance for the bog like conditions of the last 100m of the track and storming runs to that point turned crap with the finish line in sight as my wheels could barely turn. As a result I ended up with 1:57 & 1:56' which placed me 29/50 on the 1st run in masters and 22/36 in the 2nd run, only 36 rides for the 2nd run as so many went home due to the bad conditions, final position 29/50. I take a bit of solice knowing full well a bike with a bit better mud clearance and I'd easily have knocked 10seconds off. Also that I'm 1.5months off my 40th birthday and if I was in vets today I'd have placed 10/22 which I would have been chuffed at. So goal of 'finish in the top half' of my field or overall 119/216 wasn't achieved today but objectively I didn't do too badly.

Wow. That looks stunning. My cycling is pretty low level at the moment but I'd love to ride roads like that one day. Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
