Richie's 1st Mtb Race

Well I did it, Round 1 Brass Monkey's at Porridge Pot Hill, Deepcut.
A cold and frozen day was waiting for us. Fortunately there was nothing falling from the sky to make it worse. The ground was hard and this made for some interesting riding!


As this was my first race, I knew not what to expect....... except that I'd be very knackered around 2 hours after the start, that is if I lasted that long!!

Well I did last it, it was hard and at times during the race I wanted to give up, and I was only doing the 2 hour event. I put my hands up to those that did the 4 hour event.


Okay, I came 41st out of around 80 or so. I was pleased with this for my first attempt. I know where my weaknesses are now... mountain biking!!
I intend on taking some instruction for my downhill techniques etc, and hopefully I can improve on my finish position for Round 3 in January.

Toodle Loo.
