Anyone else heading up to Black park tomorrow for round 1?
My lad is doing the under-9s race, and I have decided to take the big step up from fun to open! I am even considering wearing lycra so i don't stand out in my baggies and t-shirt 😀
I will be the slightly rotund, red faced bloke sweating at the back 😀
A sign of my commitment, it is my 43rd Birthday today and I am not drinking!
I'll be there with my 10 year old daughter who's entering her first race. My 8 year old was going to too but has been asked to play in a rugby tournament and has chosen that. I was half tempted but had a big morning at Aston Hill today and feel pretty knackered. I'll be on the yellow Bronson wearing baggies if you want to say hello!
Team Magnetodog were taking it very seriously
Will be? If you're not done and at home you're in trouble...
What 😀 8)
Hmmm, my first 5 lap race - 30th and it felt like a bit of a brutal kicking. I definitely need to do some work if I want to stick with the vets. Last 2 laps felt like a solo time-trial with my legs slowly falling off.
If I can't get more riding/training time in, then I reckon I'll go open for the southerns and stick with vet for the gorricks- as i'll get a better race that way.
Still a great morning out and well done to Adam and his team for taking the Southerns on. Good job.
What I want to know is how I was lapping at 21-22mins per lap.
Then how the 'jeffers don you take 5mins out of that per lap!!! on what was a tight course... and then do 6 laps...!!!
Some people are superhuman..
tight and bumpy too. Yeah - tough to get loads more speed out of it for me. Legs, arms, and back all felt wrecked at the end.
