Working off the Turkey...

While most people were finishing off the turkey leftovers and trying to figure out where the batteries went in another electronic device, the Naked Bikes / Haibike / Impsport team were on the road again this weekend.

Round 13 of the NDCXL was at Bakewell, a late change of venue. Preliminary course inspection on foot prompted the standard flippers / snorkel comments!

Wetter than the proverbial otter's pocket!

 

The course consisted of a large amount of flat, muddy, sports pitch type action, but was livened up with the addition of a large, steep hill to climb up then immediately blast down.

Rich: "The course looked awful but was actually great fun. I rode on my own for nearly all the race, and was pleasantly surprised to take 9th Vet overall - especially since Nick Craig was on the front row of the grid. Not getting lapped by him was a bonus!"


Grr!




He's not pushing, he's just remounting!

Josh and Ross both raced in the Juniors race at 2.30, by which point the course looked even harder. Josh claimed 2nd place, and Ross took 5th.
