One round to go and in the lead!
The 5th round of the National Trophy seies was in Bradford. I’d kept an eye on the weather forecast all week and knew it was going to be a really muddy race. The course was rideable in the warm up laps before the racing started but after the 1st event it started to rain and the course got really slippy. By my race there was a fair bit of running up the climbs which weren’t rideable anymore and prooved pretty hard to run! One of the descents I found quicker to run; the majority that tried to ride it ended up crashing.
I finished in 5th, not one of my best results. I had a good ride with no reasons to not be going well, but there was some very tough competition who were better than me on the day. But it got me into the yellow jersey for the final round in Shrewsbury so i’m very happy :)
Well done to Annie Last who had a very good win!
