• So who’s racing tonight and what bikes should I be looking out for?

    I’ve a sore throat scratchy cough, from my youngest! Any other good excuses welcome…

  • I am. But you probably knew that already.

    It’s your first race, so that’s all the excuse you need. Start harder than you’re comfortable with, then hang on for as long as you can. There’s no gridding, so don’t go on the front row, but equally don’t go to the back.

  • Go as hard as you can for the first 2 laps then see where you are. Remember to breathe and recover on the corners and the technical bits. Save your efforts for the straights and out of dead corners as being calm in the technical sections will gain you more time than pushing there.

    Don’t let the wheel infront of you go, ever

    Say hello to me - number 143 on a black canti crux
