DaveC Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hi allToday was a wet and muddy race, I thought I entered a crit not a cross race!!!!! I didnt warm up very well as i didnt trust the roller when it was raining and so I rolled around the car park for a bit trying to keep warm. Once the race had started I made sure i was always near the front then a few laps into the race I gained a dreaded puncture but i took a lap out and borrowed someons front wheel, which was kind of them (well the commissar just took it and put it in my bike) I rejoined the back of the front group and i didnt feel safe on this wheel that had been pumped up to about 120psi! in the wet!!!! but i soldiered on and gain more confidence with the front wheel. Lap after lap i got more confident and there were a few crashes. I stayed with the front bunch until the end. The last corner had fractured the group a little bit but I managed to sprint to 7th overall.A fun wet and muddy race but it was worth it and another few points on the board.Many thanks Dave C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
