Portsmouth h&h

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Venue: Emsworth, Portsmouth

Result  1st overall

Its been a while since I have ridden at the Portsmouth club due to other racing commitments, so it was good to head back there for the three hour race, The flag went down at 11am and I got the hole shot again!!!, I led for about half a lap then I missed an arrow and went wrong, this gave Rob Carey a chance to take the lead, I held back for the remainder of the 1st lap and just followed Rob to get a look at the track, as soon as we got round to the start area I had seen enough so overtook Rob and pulled away, The track got very muddy but the weather stayed dry all day. No richie today but the pit stops were slick, Lap times were around 11 minutes and I had lapped everyone by about 1 hour 20 mins into the race and I lapped everyone again by the end of the race except Lawrence catt who excaped by just 20 seconds, (shame cause I was aiming to win by two clear laps). A great training ride but some serious cleaning to do before next week!
