"Races are fast, furious and muddy. Normally lasting around hour, a typical race will take short laps of singletrack, grass, tarmac and hurdles with short running sections. Although less technical than XC mountain biking, the courses used in the Scottish series are a stern test of rider's abilities."
And they weren't lying. The racing was action packed and completely relentless. I slipped and slided my way round each lap holding on as best I could. The muddy course had the pit teams working hard with bike swaps almost every lap for the leaders. I didn't have that luxury but did have an awesome support team in the form of Alex, Oran, Lexi, Seonaidh and Rosie. More cowbell!
I finished 21st out of 62 riders in the mens senior race.
