Every year the first round of the Gorrick Spring Series heralds the start of the new XC season. Alex and myself were the earliest risers as the fog lifted from the Tunnel Hill course. New start times meant I probably wasn't the only person to nearly miss their race! There was still ice on the puddles in the car park as the sun broke through and we set off!

The reward for the early start was a fun, fast course, making use of the army trenches to weave through the woods. The hills were less enjoyable, especially the painful back to back climbs towards the end of the lap.

Steve starting in the Super Vets had soon caught and passed me on his way to 2nd. Will was next, streaking through to finish 3rd in the Sport race. Also in the Sport category Ollie was 16th.
James, Ian and Martin were just setting off in the Grand Vets as I dragged myself across the line. They finished 3rd, 7th and 29th respectively.

Alex took a tumble and I was still recovering from man flu so we propped up the Super Master results!
Some superb results and plenty of early promise for the season ahead!
Ollie, Ian, Ben, Martin and Alex - great to see so many team colours out on course!
