Spalding.

Normally this would have been held in borne woods, unfortunatly they were cutting tree's so it had been moved to the back feild of a school in spalding, not quite the same but oh well. It was another cold morning with full winter kit on, the track was half round a flat feild and half twisting in and out of tight tree's down the other side of the feild, not a very interesting or nice to ride course but ohwell, it had to be done.

Again i was called up to the line first, and i got a really good start and just kept going from there up until about the 3rd lap when i had quite a nice little lead over the rest of them. Thats when it started to go downhill, i'd been having problems with my chest recently as i have asthma, during the race it got worse and worse and my lead was being eaten into by Jake Poole. Eventually he came past me with about 1 and a half laps to go, when he just rode away from me and i had nothing in return. I was more bothered about who was behind me, Peter and Adam were closing in and i just had to keep the pace up right to the end of the race to stay away, which i managed to and got a 2nd out of it, which i was quite pleased about seeing as though my chest was that bad, but all credit to Jake for a good win. I just hope that my chest will be better for next weekends national trophy at Ipswich.
