Having only joined Biketreks Racing Team on Monday of last week I was eager to get racing. My first race for the team was at Salt Ayre, where the pace was noticeably higher than the past few weeks, due to other teammates doing lots of work. I finished comfortably within the group but feel that I could have done better if I had got into a good position. My next race came two days later at Preston circuit, with elites, cat 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 4’s all racing together the pace was high, the turn up was not as high as usual due to the rain. The race kept a constant pace throughout and I felt strong going into the final lap, as the last straight came before the end, riders were trying to get to the front and there was a crash taking around 8 down. Luckily I avoided this and got round them on the grass, to contest the sprint for 4th which I just managed to clinch.

With this race being only my 3rd road event and having got a puncture in my first I wasn’t really sure what to expect. At the start line it was wet, windy and very cold I wouldn’t exactly say I was looking forward to it.
