This was my first race, and I counted afterwards, my 7th ride on a bike since I was about 12 years old. I finished 3 laps in 3rd grade, but I had to finish there as I was told I would get in the way of A and B grade (which I would have).
I had an absolute ball, what a great sport. I was hoping to be slightly more competitive as I watched a race at Yellowmundi and thought I might be as quick as some of the C graders, but I think it was deceptive as they went past after a hill climb.
This was the first time I had completed more than 2 laps of a coarse (I hadn’t prepared well), but I found I was in much better shape after 3 laps than I was after the 1st and 2nd.
A few things I have to work on is cornering, and picking a line. I think I hit every rock on the coarse, which seems to knock a lot of your speed off. As for the cornering, everytime I speed up I kept running off the track coming out of the corner. I think I used the front brake too much?
Anyway I hope I didnt get in the way too much. I tried to get off the coarse where I could.
I'll see you all at the next race.
