First cross race of the season down. Would have done well but I crashed a few times. My skills are lacking!

Weekend of racing at Manion's Cyclocross Race; it was my CAT3 debut. I got 3rd on Saturday and 4th on Sunday ... not bad.

Man all you guys racing in dry dusty conditions. So alien. Scottish season begins the weekend, looking forward to my annual kicking in the mud

Last race of the season a few weeks back at the Oakland Gran Prix.
