Going into round 1 of the Gorrick Spring Series I was prepared and ready, Then like most people I was hit with man flu (what a blow). With this in mind, mentally I was not in the best place but I got all my stuff ready and set off for round 1.When I got there Steve Calland had just cruised thought to win the masters.I had put Bonty Mud X's on and after my pre ride lap I soon realised this was not the best choice, so when I got back to the car I had about 20 mins to change then to my Geax Mezcal's I put them on grip direction and I think this was a good move in the end. Going into the first corner it was quite busy, being a field of 65. We all soon found out our speed and I was with a group of 5 and kept with them. Then 2 of us broke away and stayed away, it stayed like that for the rest of the race. We past 2 more but we were caught by someone who crashed previously (he was going well). I was so pleased with how the race went I finished 20th with consistent lap times only dropping 1 min each lap. Now I can look forward to round 2 on the 6th Feb at Heath Warren Woods with a bit more confidence. I'll blog again then to let you all know how things are going.
