Spent it at BPW. Rode the climbs, 2000m in all, and then straight into Terry's Belly, Vicious Valley, Insufficient Funds, Melted Welly ...
All accompanied by the Craig Charles funk and soul show playlist on Spotify (I put it on Hearthrough for the descents so I can hear my tyres).
Met a great guy in the car park and another out on the trails. Shared some stories.
It was an mtb Red letter day.

Well, today was a good day! I raced at London Beastway GV's. Although I was nervous as hell, I went through the usual XCO sensations, found I still have a good start, had a battle after 20 mins and judge my passing correctly which stuck, and caught what I believe to be 3rd place at the end.

It was a reduced field, I have raced more in vo2max HR previously than today but a lot of positives to be had.

The best thing, I enjoyed being uaround the race scene and think I'm motivated to train for Torq in your sleep...

How was the Marathon RD?

Flippin brilliant Kryters. My plan for just cruising went out the window when I realised I was loving going really deep, so I got down to the job in hand. Had the good fortune to catch a lad just before the first significant descent. He was proper quick so I just let go of the brakes and followed his lines. My goodness it was a thrill! Death or glory.
