Midland GHS 10 mile time trial

Today was the midlands district championship and the winners got into the national final but I did not get into the final because I was not fast enough but I did come 3rd in my race last night that's why I only did 25:35 over 10 miles but it was a personal best for a 10. Today was very hot and because off that it made the TT even harder but I think I did a good time. Also i was not last in this TT.

Cheltenham race round 4, and I got 3rd

Last nights road race was at cheltenham again and I picked this picture of me in the main group because it shows how hard that hill was. The race started off with about 2 or 3 fast hard laps then slowed up and had some times when it got a bit faster but then slowed down again. Then with one lap to go there was an attack of 2 under 16s and 1 under 14 and they got away and as my group got to the bottom of the hill on the last lap I attacked and sprinted all the way up the hill and as I got over the line I got 3rd in the under 16s, and I got on to the podium and my prizes was a poster a water bottle and a power bar also that means I won my first point.

Today was a 25 mile solo time trial with the banbury star cc and I felt good and knew I was going good because I over took 4 people and only got over taken by 1 and did a time of 1 hour 6 mins and 52 secs and I think that was good time because its was my first 25. Luckily i did not get cramp like in the 36 mile solo and im glad, my target for this was 1 hour 10 but I beat it,

Cheltenham Race Round 3

As you can see from the picture above in last nights race I kept up with the leaders of the race and there was a bit a of I big bunch, the race was 20 minutes + a lap and I stayed with the leader untill I got a puncture and as it happened I could hear the air coming out and I thought it was the front wheel so I pushed down on my handle bars and looked at the wheel and it was fine so I carried on and the not much further up the cousre some one fell off and luckly I did not fall off but then I could tell my tyer was low on air because I could feel the tyer moving on the rim and so I stoped and quit because I had no spare wheels. I was dissapointed about the puncture but glad I kept up with the leaders.

BSCC 10 mile solo

Todays 10 mile solo was great because we got to see some one in the new kit and it looked very cool. The ten mile solo today was hard there was a cross wind and just after I started I had to stop quick because the sensor for my speedo was hitting the magnet on the wheel so I stoped and I think that my have been why I was a bit slower but apart from that it was a good ride because I over took a few people. However on the way home after it started raining but at least in stayed dry till after the TT.

raced at cheltenham again last night

sorry no picture

Last nights race was painful after Wednesdays 36 mile time trail. I had some trouble keeping up but I got droped but was with some one in the under 14s so I kept attacking on the hill, but he kept catching me up so on the last lap I attached and went and stayed away from him and just got lapped on the line because I was sprinting up the hill but i was in a bit of pain but just on the line they got me.

banbury stars 36 mile solo

Last nights time trial was 36 miles and for the warm up I did about 3 miles. Once I got out there I was going very well and I got to the roundabout to turn around in 45 mins 30 seconds. I was aiming to get there in 50 mins and 50 mins back so my time would be 1 hour 40 mins. I got back in 1 hour 38 mins. When I was about 10 miles from the finsh I got very bad cramp, I tried to get out of the saddle to stand up and pedal but the cramp was so bad I had to stop for half a min because I could not pedal anymore. From there on in I just stayed in the saddle. Then a bit further down the road it started raining and by this point I just wanted to get home. About 2 miles from the finsh I got cramp in the other leg so I had to stop pedaling down this hill but I just said to myself not much further just go for it and so I did. I started off 14th and I overtook numbers 13, 9, 4 and 1.

cheltenham horse racing but with no horses

Last nights race was at Cheltenham horse racing and there was a big hill in the middle, my races was 20 mins long plus a lap and for the first 3 or 4 laps I managed to keep in with the main bunch but I kept getting the wrong gear up the hill I think it was a bit high so after a while I got droped but I tryed hard and did not get laped so i would say that it was a good day because I came 4th out of 5.

interclub with A5 rangers, 10 mile solo

sorry no picture today but not that it was a good day

Todays time trial was a 10 mile interclub hosted by A5 rangers and a flat 10 mile course and I was hoping to do a good time (24'54 was my target) but due to things like the sign on person being late and going off second and going wrong twice I felt that my time was going to be bad and suprise suprise it was. The sign on person sent me off second so i did not get a good warm up and by about half a mile in my chest and my legs were hurting. and when i got to the first roundabout i went wrong and had to turn around and did the same thing at that roundabout agan coming back, at the end of the day my time was 25'53 which was nothing to shout about but infact was a personal best over 10 miles.
