National Points Series Round 2

Ae Forest...

I think I can sum it up like this:



Pretty stoked with my result. I've not raced at Ae for 4 years, and because of that its noticeable to see how I've changed as a rider. The track was much the same as it was before, although alot more hard-packed and worn in these days. It was really fast, rocky in places and pretty fun. There was a new off camber wooded technical section at the end which was good too.

I qualified third with some mistakes and a 2.55. I wanted to get a 2.50 in the race on Sunday. I did a good warm-up on the tacx road bikes that are provided at the top of the nationals this year for just such a purpose and ended up with a 2.46 and third place, so I was pretty happy to say the least. I had a pretty good run, just lost some time in a couple of places, but not enough to have changed my result. I was lucky with the weather having changed to dry tyres for my run, and when I crossed the line it was just beginning to rain.. 2 or 3 minutes later it was a torrential downpour!

Cheers to Si & Steve for organising another great event.
