Grafham CX

All a bit foggy today, but a lovely day none the less. The reservoir was unusually totally full so there were no beaches which was a bit of a shame. The course dried out for the later races but was a bit slippy early on. Alfie crashed and hurt his knee and i think James F was dnf too although not sure what happened.
Myself and Richard both broke our saddles on the first hop on at the ditch but sadly Richards was terminal where as mine held together to the finish.
Dave H was super strong today and good to see Stuart and Travis back and going well.

Stuart F

Nice write up Tim. Thanks we all enjoyed that. Definitely a power course with few technical difficulties. Apparently the water authority have been pumping the summer excess of water from the rivers to get the reservoir levels up hence no beaches.

Cycling Weakly

Thanks Tim - yes James injured his ankle on the third lap and couldn't continue. He was very disappointed.

Much more importantly, though, his bike is undamaged...

I thought the course was good; nice wide paths for the most part. Sorry you had mechanical issues Richard.

Sorry not to see Noah nor Sam racing; I wish you both well and a speedy recovery from your respective injuries.
