Event: MTBO Driffield
 

Driffield sprint race. Good area but I was not racing well, slower than I should be through the puddles and ruts... Went just past 4, missed obvious straight path to 8 then messed up on the rout I did take. Coming off the hill at 10 I hit a bump and came down hard on the sadel ending up with it pointing 20 degrees nose down. Went over the bars going from 14 to 15 when the front wheel went down a hole in the grass. 6th 3 mins off Andy C. would be interesting to see the splits to see how mutch the saddle slowed me on the second half.

OK route ggadget at

Event: MTBO Chopwell Wood
 

Chopwell MTBO. Regretting not being on the blur the first 3 controls where it was a bit rooty and bumpy but more fast stuff after that. Missed best route to 4, heading straight to road rather than using railway track. loast 30 secs to Al. also lost 20 odd secs on 9 but not realy sure how. Hard work up the final climb fairly knackered by the end. Unfortunatly no computer record which would of been interesting.

3 mins up on Andy C. Al had been close till 11 then 12 was not yet oput for him and he riped his mech off at 16. Alan got even further before a head on colision with a downhiller going to 17 wiped him out.

Out with Matt again. From Ashton Court around the bridleways from barrow gurney and a loop around goblin coumb. a few too mant getes early on but the later bridleways were generaly OK and good fun. down broughton coumb was fun. final bit of mtb trail in ashton court at the end.. Good number of people out in the dark.

Nothing like as hard as last week I did not want to push as hard and Matt said he was feeling off form right from the start so not realy pushing. Of course some of the climbs give you no option you either push or walk...
