Last Weekend (Who's Who??)!!

Hey all,

I have been meaning to update the blog, but have just been mega busy, so now i have to write a huge 4 race report, so rather than a huge essay I will split it up starting with last weekend.

BUCS Crit Champs

Starting with the Bucs Crit Champs last Saturday, in the pouring rain around a technical circuit at the Loughborough Uni Campus. Despite the poor weather, I was highly motivated to be back racing with my mates :)

After a few warm up laps, I started to get a good feel for the circuit and was pumped up for a good result.

After a couple of laps I managed to get in a move and found my self in the break, then after trying to split the break up a little, i got a massive stitch and struggled to keep up with the leaders. but still managed to hold off the bunch for a well deserved 5th. A little disappointed but still fairly happy! As my best mate, Steve Adams, managed to win.

After the race We (Steve Adams, his G.F Kelly and my G.F Jen) all went to Pizza Hut to top up the Carbs :) and to repay them for standing in the rain for the last hour!! ha

Sunday: Darley Moor

What an excellent day out!! Racing not as just team mates, but brothers too :) with the a massive fan club supporting us too. It was only fair to get a good result. Even if it was difficult to tell us apart, as we are apparently identical on the bikes.

After a fast, aggresive race with, both Paul and I, looking out for each other, Paul managed to clip off in a move in the closing stages. I had the confidence that he could win from that position, so did my best fill the road and stop the bunch chasing.

It worked!!!!

And Paul crossed the line arms in the air, at this point, I had to stop sprinting and celebrate too, and still finished 8th.

A great weekend for us both and for team manger Mick Green, seeing his team excelling on the road.
