The track was cut up and very muddy in places which made it particularly challenging, similar to round 1. Rachel suffered from a leaking front brake during her first run and had to abandon it, whilst Charlie and Roger had off track excursions.
Rachel managed to blag a bike for her run (thanks to Rich Dade for the lending of his Demo 7), and she managed to post a very respectable time giving her 4th in her category, so a great effort indeed. Her time was just eclipsed by Roger (38th masters) who was experimenting with hardtail racing – something he is still questioning but is determined to get the hang of….
Charlie put in a solid performance on his hardtail to post an excellent 11th in the Masters.
A hard day above the saddle, but still great fun all the same.
