Last league round doubling up as Ulster Championships.
Very technical course. And very claggy mud so I did a lot of running on the first few laps to try and save the bike from clogging up.
Was with a group of 4 guys, confident after previous performances i could beat them. Rode all the muddy bits on the 2nd last lap to try and gap them, started to pick up a lot of mud. Then on the final lap when I hadn't shook them off, I imploded! A minute slower on my last lap and crossed the line feeling like I would be quicker on my hands and knees!

Wee video from the event also:
Ended up 11th 🙁
Southampton Wessex CX today. Deep wet mud, pouring rain and windy. Love it!
Last counting round of the central CXL returns to Culham Park due to the original venue being lost. It should be a hoot.
Lots of help needed with set up and take down....hint hint.
Culham Park, Abingdon. Loved it earlier in the season, but today;
It was hard work.
My back ached.
My back still aches.
I was shoved off.
My leg is cut to bits.
I wanted to step off.
Wrong gear ratio.
Hardest race of the ten this year. 😥
I enjoyed the trip to Culham but that course really was hard. Even though it was pretty dry there was no real rest and the wet sand was so draggy! I want to race there when the ground is hard and fast, it would be great.
Sorry that you got shoved off OG
This pretty much sums up the season for me. Muddy, raining and knackered 🙂

On that teeny weeny step up on the 180o turn, you get there first, not good form to even try and get past on a 30 inch bit of track
The weekend looks interesting. I'm racing at Hitchin, the last race of the season and not a points race.
Been a good year, I was hoping to get a V50 overall podium place but fell short at 4th overall 😥 more hard work in 2013.
