It was the firt round of the SDA series this weekend. My first time on the DH bike since New Zealand so good to get back riding quickly. it was a push up race on the resonably small hill in Pitfichie near Aberdeen. The track was bone dry and riding pretty quickly although the main chalenge at this race was keeping speed alond the flatter bottom section through the rock gardens. I was loving practace and then on saturday evening there was a 4x race down the field. It was a flat corner slalom track on the slippy grass. Good cheering as always and a few cow pats sent in the riders direction. Ill get hutchins to eat the shite off my forks when i see him next. Jamesy boy took the win and the cash home, with some inspired elbows out riding and legs of thunder. The DH on sunday didnt go so good for me with a puncture in my first run and then 3rd in my second run. I didnt mind so mutch though because I felt fast on most of the course. The Lamb brothers were the big hit of the weekend coming down safely and Ferg taking the win and Toms 3rd in Expert. It was good traveling over with Jamesy, Jenny and Ferg and thanks to Tom for letting us stay. Its abit of work now and then the first National at Ae Forrest next weekend. untill next time
