Claire asked us if we wanted to do a mountain bike race, we had a look at the website and decided yeah why not.
We trained pretty hard for it, since Christmas Claire went snowboarding and had a couple of days on the bike, we had few days on the bike and that was considered to be training enough. My bike broke again so I decided it was time to replace it, I bought a new one expecting it to arrive within a few days, i didn't. Fortunately, Leo lent me his for the race. Claire did really well and despite getting stuck behind someone on the downhill stage managed to get on the podium in 3rd place. Kelly shocked herself by coming in 5th and I came 53rd in the Mens just getting into the top quarter of the riders.
A generally good event, a couple of things could be improved but very social and I will be doing again when I can.
Not many photos but some from before, after and the prize giving ceremony.
