Another rear mech fail bummed up my race at Gunpowder Park! Need to get a spare bike I think because it is extremely frustrating not being able to finish, especially as I was going pretty well - would probably have got another top 20 finish looking at the results. I guess it's the nature of the sport and a few guys who usually finish above me also had the same thing happen so...
Apart from that the course was good, and the guy playing drums at the side of the course was superb!
Next weekend is Penshurst. Never raced there before so have been checking out a vid from 2008s race . Looks like quite a tough course, maybe similar to Stanmer. Aiming to fit the Rhinos to my new wheels for it (Will use them if it's muddy enough) and also need to get my bike fixed in time. Waiting on a mech hanger, which could be a problem - fingers crossed.
