Went on a bit of a mission at the weekend down to Leamington and Oxford to race in the final round of the 4X series held at the Campion Hill Bike Track in Leamington Spa. Three of us from Edinburgh Uni went to represent the Uni in the student category. We got to Oxford, where we were staying, on Friday night and met with a few local riders to do some street, and get back into a racing mind by doing a little multi-story carpark racing (obviously fearingout does not endorse this kind of riding) which was a great laugh.
We spent Saturday practicing and then it was race day on Sunday, by which point we were really looking forward to the race. I didnt do as well as I would have liked to getting 6th in the students cat and not even making it to the semi's for the serior males. No excuses really, my riding just didnt cut it on the day. Still, I had a really good weekend and its made me realise that I dont want to give up on 4X racing so I'm going to try and get to a couple more than I planned to.
Hopefully I'll get a full race report up here soon.
