I did a CX race on an MTB once. Only once though. Obviously.

I did think twice about offering him a lift. People really stared at us when we pulled into the car park with his “thing” on the roof. I put on my sunglasses, pulled my hood up and hid in the sign-on hut until he’d taken it away.

Re: Season 18/19

I'm trying to get Dylan to these races (he has a Junior TCX now), but they keep clashing with his Swimming Gala's, which are his priority.

You should come down and teach us a lesson. With your skills and fitness you could really tear it up. Welwyn on Sunday?Steve Hanks wrote:Ok i fell for it. You carry on pretending you're riding over something "technical" for half the time a proper race takes.

Re: Season 18/19
I'm in off season, strict instructions - no racing. I wouldn't want to compromise 2019.

Re: Season 18/19
Today, Chris Clague and I raced at Stanborough Park, Welwyn in the Eastern League V50 and V40 races respectively. Neither of us won but it was fucking excellent.
That is all.
