Brass Monkey #1



Sunday morning at Frith Hill was cold. Brass Monkey by name brass monkey by nature. The usual pre start questing of clothing and then it's shoulder to shoulder at the start line. 

After a late start it's a dash for the first singletrack. I placed well entering the first descent and was able to gain a few spots early on. The first lap was quick, despite recent conditions the track was dry and rolling well. A welcome surprise given I couldn't be bothered to change from my summer tyres. I settled into a rhythm and was riding with two others for the remainder of the lap.

In the words of Staind 'It's been awhile'

It's been a while since I last posted anything here and I sincerely apologise to both my followers! A lot has changed, my attitude to racing has evolved and racing experience has increased tenfold. 

After years of avoiding joining a team I found myself joining a new team - Racing Club Ravenna. A Chichester based club with some solid members who compete in a variety of disciplines. A lot of my progression is thanks to this team.
