NMRRL Stainton Thu 22nd July

[iandv]

Group C - Fast and furious tonight, I was feeling up for it so decided to commit 100% from the start. Things were going well with Jordan and me covering the moves until Jordan punctured on the second lap in spectacular style. (let's hope his luck improves soon! ) I stayed up front and really enjoyed the racing but I was gritting my teeth at times. I paid for my exuberance on the 6th lap and had to ease off and drift to the back to recover. By the final lap I was ok and got in a reasonable position but didn't have the courage to go with lee Allen on the hill which proved to be an excellent winning move. I stayed in the bunch and finished reasonably well in 9th or 10th I think. A really tough race, pleased I got round and enjoyed it alot. just need to work on my confidence in the finale.

looking forward to next week! ( I think)

Sounds like you had a good race. Couldn't catch the finish with us marshalling. The Stainton circuit is good, there are places that encourage attacks and the more that try, then the more exciting the races become. You will have to have the courage next week!
