It's not Christmas just yet....!

Despite it being the season for office parties, mince pies and a general 'wind-down' you can rely on the Naked Bikes/Haibike/Impsport team to still be out there racing. (OK, one of us!)

Rich flew the team flag up at Sherwood Pines for Round 12 of the NDCXL season this weekend. A surprisingly dry course saw the pace high, once the confusions about the course at the start were cleared up.

Rich: "I had a good second row start, and we all took off up the fire-road. Amusingly the front row all turned the wrong way at a corner when they should have gone straight on. In the resulting confusion I ended up about 5th for a short while. A quick clash of wheels put paid to that though, and a quick slam into the mud saw me drop loads of places. I fought back through the field fairly steadily though, and was happy enough with 10th V40, 14th Vet overall."
