Just a quick report...
The course was pretty much flat, except for one run/ride-up (I ran it), and suited more for power riders. It was cold, sunny and frost covered the grass initially, but it warmed up very quickly so I had to shed a couple layers.
My start was okay, I lined up first row and over the first few laps I traded positions between 3rd and 5th wheel. There were a few attacks but they didn't last long and I just caught back on. On the last lap, one guy who came up from behind threw down an attack and took off, the others followed but I couldn't respond so I finished some time back in 6th.
I haven't decided whether it's worth it to continue this season or not, I enjoy the racing but it's getting frustrating always finishing just off the podium, and the driving is getting expensive. I don't know, it depends what the weather is like in the following weeks I suppose.
