Gorrick MTB 25th Jan

[Sylv]

Good race with a fair bit of mud at the Dera test track in Bracknell - last time I raced there it was with Marco, DH Jason and Richard M !

THanks to Alex P for the support, well done Simon it was a tough course for a singlespeed - two super steep climbs which I had to walk even though I had 27 gears

Happy with the result although I felt like I was going slower every lap - and I was!

[Toks]

Excellent result mate. Questions...1 Do you ever do badly in a mountain bike race? How much has your increased road bike fitness helped your Mtb'ing?

[Rob C]

Awesome! Are you doing all of the Gorrick races?

[Stu Merckx Man]

syvl thats fantastic, you beat david miller

[Sylv]

Toks, I would if I had entered the Expert/Elite category, equivalent to E/1/2. But then again most people there are sponsored!

No question the road riding/racing has helped heaps. I never used to train as hard as on the clubrun before. I was also really looking forward to racing off-road for a change. And now I' excited about the next road race

Rob - Simon and I will definitely be doing the Feb round - hopefully it will be at Tunnel Hill which sounds like a brilliant venue - yesterday's race was meant to be there, but they had to change venue at the last minute. The March one, not sure for me as the ACC RT is doing a 100km road race on the Saturday.

I was tempted to bring the turbo for warming up yesterday . I did try it with a knobbly tire, pretty noisy! But I can use it with the 1" slicks on my commuter at home.

[Sylv]

Darn, I thought I'd beaten James Bond!

Well done Sylv.

It's going to be hard for you to have to choose between the off-road and on-road events this year.

[Ian A4size]

Well done lads, great result for you both.

[Sylv]

Looking mean !

Toks I swear I was pulling a tongue

[Snoop Doug]

Well done guys - what a fantastic effort, good pics too

[sid_day]

I felt I was getting faster per lap. The extra 1 min on my last lap was to nurse myself after getting bashed by my saddle

Fantastic course, biggest turn out since the XC heyday of the early '90s.

I'm still buzzing.

It is quite incredible becuase they had to change the venue after the orginal one was withdrawn on Thursday AM.
The Gorrick people are pros!

[Brian Nolan]

well done Sylv,fantastic ! and a great result for Simon as well , nice one !

[George]

Well done boys, that course looks perfect conditions, nice and dry, those coniferous forests are super play area's for 2 wheels.

[Sylv]

So the next event is in two and a half weeks on 17th Feb and should be a good one, if anyone else fancies having a go we can always try and arrange an ACC convoy.

They had over 570 entries for the first race!
