Grand Finale Race Year.

It has been a Grand and Great year for racing with thrills and plenty of spills with people having a tustle with a few trees, rocks, stumps and wipeouts. After competing in Shropshire and Wales and raising money for Autism West Midlands and collecting the final amount of £14.80. Which came to over £130 in total and will post the Grand Total pretty soon. Many thanks to the people who donated through out the Year and for your support. Once again many thanks. I am know looking forward to the next racing season and also doing plenty of training and Gym work. And if you want to donote further go to the justgiving website which is on page one of this site.

Final Race of Year, Rd 5 Caersws Finals

Caersws was dry and was the same track as Rd2. The track was far more compact than Rd2 and far more moderate temperature to ride. When I first arrived on Saturday there was still mist in the valley below which was nice but soon warmed up a bit when the day went on and the mist went. The day was as fast which was brilliant and a few people coming off, I was gladly I was not one of them, but wait until Race Day. People where flying down the hill like that they where being chased by a Haunted Spectre, some where just more laid back pulling over to one and off the track to find the more quicker line or best line to take or both. Come Race Day Sunday, got up early and got to track side but as like Saturday morning there was mist in the valley but when you got to the start line at the top of the hill it was spectacular there was mist from Aberwystwyth to Newtown and you could not see the finishing line or any of the fields due to the low lying mist. If only you where there to see it. When it was free practice you had to go thru the mist and thought will I be able to look a few feet in front of you due to the mist but you could, lucky. Then the racing started at 11.00am and the riders where picking times during the dayas faster anf faster. Come my first timed run guess what had a mega off at a tightish corner and had an arguement which a rock. The rock won. I managed to get to the bottom still seeing stars in my field of view. Any way when it come to my second timed run I took it slighty carefull went past the point where I crashed earlier and got to the bottom and I managed to go faster than my first run, which was a big surprised. So that how it was and happened during the weekend.
