DavieB Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Paul, If you are expecting to see me at the race today won't be there. I am on the mend and 95% there but just can't seem to shift the last of a cold I have been suffering, I was leaving my decision to this morning but in the circumstances I think racing today would be a BAD decision. Off to e-mail the organiser. If you race today enjoy. Davie PaulL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions PaulL Posted January 9, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 No worries Davie hope you are ok for next week! I really liked the course... It was freezing, snowing and muddy(puddles). I was doing well for the first few laps holding a good position but it was going to be a long haul, it had a wee forest climb that had most people walking, I tried ride up it(almost) and gained some places here, but I think I was going to pay later for the efforts. Then my crank fell off just as I past the pits... not that I could have done anything as I left the spare bike at home haha... No heroics from me running for the last 20mins My first DNF of the season, looking forward to racing that course again. a few places left for the next 3 races afaik, if anyone wanted to try out CX I would highly recommend this course as not too technical and alot of fun Cheers Paul P McDonald, DavidC, Richard and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieB Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Paul, Somethings come up (and no it's not the weather) and I think I will be struggling time-wise to make this, a very slim chance I may see you there but am doubtful. Whatever happens have a blast. Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions PaulL Posted January 30, 2016 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Good to see Mike and James there today, was a new course with added ramps and climbs(much better). Bit of snow and wind but wasn't to bad, I got a good start but no idea where I finished, Had a three way sprint for the finish line for an irellevant placing, which was fun! Pity you didn't make it Davie you would have like this one, see you next week P P McDonald 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
