SXC round 1

From Kirroughtree SXC 2009

[St Andrews uni, Chris Bell looking a little too happy mid expert race]

For a couple of reasons i found my self unable to race at the first race of the season so i went down with Mike and Neil from the ABC to feed and do bottles/tale photos (click the photo above)

There were certainly plenty people in attendance , most notably a large womens field.

Course looked and sounded good with plenty of singletrack to create some questionable passing maneuvers !

Paul Oldham(hope) looked to be ripping up the Expert/Elite with over a mins gap by the first time he passed us about 5 mins from finish. Paul Smith{SWC} was trying his hardest to close the gap. Lots of new faces in category but as expected new face in expert Dave Henderson was showing them what he was made of and when i left wasnt going to be far off a podium.

Looking forward to round 2 where i should be able to race

roll on round 2 when i can race !
