Wow, its been a while and I have been pretty busy. Between Nik and I settling into the new house, work, MGA, biking and climbing, life has been moving on.
Well after 3 days of feeling rubbish and one day of feeling ok, after a stomach bug I lined up for the final Brass Monkey round, the only SS in the big boys race from what I saw.
Anyway, long story short. On a really great course on a chilly but dry day, I got spanked. The food I was putting in was only serving to replace what had been lost in the week and on lap 3 or 4, I bonked and had to pull the pin. I rolled over the line to finish whichever lap, ambivalent to the fact that I was even in a race.
So a disappointing end to the series, but after a great second round finish. I think I can build and start causing others pain. Some short Gorricks first, before it gets serious at: http://www.sip-events.co.uk/solo-home.html
See you on the trails, yes I do have bog wheels.
My blog displays some of the things I get up to and hopefully some entertaining stories are provided. I have also added some links to helpful, interesting and generally entertaining websites and blogs.
