Some good riding taking place guys

Strictly speaking todays ride, as I finished it at a minute past midnight today... Torq Exposure 12:12 female solo mtb race... Well, having been so close to a win all season, ending up on the 3rd step of the podium every MTB race I have done but Mountain Mayhem, I analysed where I was going wrong and though it was about time I stopped just riding around and enjoy it. I raced in stead, putting all this seasons expereince to date to good use... and won, by almost 2 laps in fact... so decided to sit in my pits for half an hour or so on my lats lap and pottered around, as I didn't think finishing well before midnight was a good idea as that meant putting in another lap... and a one lap plus large time gap lead was more than enough!

I hurt all over now though... hope I recover in time for the IOM Ened 2 End in a couple of weeks :w00t: Must say, I have had an ace MTB season so far. Two more races to come, end 2 end and the Bristol Bikefest, doing mixed pairs with my friend Brian... Then it is cross season and some fitness testing with, in my view, the best MTB race team in this country... as they seem to want to recruit me to their ranks, aged 48 :w00t: just as well they aren't ageist Excited doesn't describe it! Best thing I ever did, convert to mountain biking... am loving every minute I am on that bike... both racing and training.
