Adriana has good debut, NBRC Vets crash and burn!

I crashed heavily on warm up, over the bars, me and bike battered. Guess you could say this course had some surprises…..Tim Bailey looked good and was having a good start until a tangle with another rider and dislodged tubs ended it for him. I think we have enough ten speed basic wheels to share some in the pits maybe.

Adriana had a good race on a very unusual cross course, we had gravel, steps, single-track turns in wet ground, a steep drop (or crash in my case) and a fair amount of climbing. She came in 8^th out of 16 ladies. 5 laps of this course kept her heart rate in threshold for the entire race, I hope she can beat Team MK riders for next race at the Bowl!

The day was finished off by Simon Moss borrowing the rear wheel (probably the only good thing left) off my bike in an emergency pit stop!

Next Saturday is Bowl Cross, get involved, I will not be riding but Tim and Adriana will, come and watch or borrow my bike if its fixed by then and race!
