Ya I can see the benefits of it. I wont argue with that and if I had my bike this week and got my enduro riding done then ya I would probably have done it. 

Its just tight at the moment with exams looming I have to prioritise.

I really need to beat the lads from home who are practising on the course nearly daily so its really gonna be tuff,

Well done to everyone who raced today, I very nearly stayed in bed after looking out the window this morning.
Tough course but enjoyable all the same. Had a good battle with a few from epic, at one point I was in a bunch of probably 5 or 6 black and red jerseys.. Blue is so much nicer!
The schlomp was out in force on some sections it even got the better of my shifting on my last lap chain dropped in behind the cassette twice and had to stop and fix it, then my cleat came loose  ??? As ever no idea where I finished but really enjoyed the race.

Well done & thanks MAD

Also well done to Jonathan on his first NPS, and great to see Corney and Arek up supporting the club.

Well that was one hard day in the saddle! Four times up toms.. Was interesting
My race when well stayed with the top four for the first lap, which included our own Jim Haide. I had a crash on the second lap and my clave decided to cramp. Nursed that around until the fourth where it faded away. Had a strong finish. Finished 6th I think. Will Just have to wait for the results.
Solid Performances all round from the club today!
Im still undecided about lady dixon with exams.
But I expect Slade to me a good race  ;)

Hmmmm mistakes in that! I'll claim 12th as i know I definitely bet that chap placed ahead of me. Happy enough with that for first race of the season.

Great results for the lads in S2, 3 in the top ten. Three in top ten for U14 and 11th for NPS Virgin Jonathan.
Great results lads
