Where did you race/ how did it go? My first was an absolute disaster but I guess that’s the point of early season races!
Tallboy-
First round of Sport category Central XC at Checkendon. It went surprisingly well. Started at the back of the grid so had to come through a lot of traffic. On that course that means biding your time in the trees and then just sprinting on the field sections to clear as many riders as possible.
By the time i got near the front 3 riders were gone and there was no catching them (one punctured out later)
The 2nd group was big and really well matched. Wheel to wheel racing. I loved it.
Was on for the podium but legs and brain let me down in the last 5 min and ended up 7th (i say 6th, but timing chip disagreed)
All in all excellent morning out. And front row gridding for round 2

First xc race of the year today. That was a shock to the system!
