[Closed] 2016 XC racing thread.

I enjoyed the cx racing thread this winter, and am already frothing for the start of the xc season proper so thought we could have a similar thread for xc racing. Be good to get some pics up etc. What are peoples racing plans/goals? I'm racing in sports cat. I've already done the first soggy bottom in January and am semi tempted to do the second at the end of Feb. Otherwise its a mid march start with the first Welsh XC at llandegla. I'm doing all the Welsh XC series and at least three of the National Series (Pembrey, Newnham, Fforest Fields). Depending on how I do at Pembrey and Newnham I might head up to Dalby too. Assuming I dont do well in the nationals so dont have a weekend in Yorkshire, I'm tempted to do the southern xc by Winchester as it looks a reat venue. Goals are to get a good overal series standing in the Welsh, and to not embarrass myself in the nationals! Just getting light enough to mean outside training before work which is a real treat after too much turbo time! Like this pic of me at the sggy in jan, though I look remakably clean!

Got to be in it to win it - well done!

Just curious how Langdon Hills compare with Hadleigh? Haven't raced at either, but have ridden Hadleigh a couple of times (and quite like it).

Well Langdon is natural rooty single track & double track. It felt just as hard to me, but then I'm not a powerful rider, and you need to be to do well in both those.
