WCMCC Dog Hill Massed Start Road Race :: 23rd September, 2012

Today's race at Dog Hill was a trial race held by West Coast Masters where riders entered one of two divisions for a massed start event around the circuit. It was also the first race in which I would have the chance to ride with a team of my training partners from Hall Cycle Training. I had raced with AP before and was fully aware of his strength at this level while Craig Pennel and Chris Singleton were Road Race virgins with West Coast Masters but were keen to come down for a trial ride and to increase our team numbers to four.

WCMCC Wandi Road Race - A Grade :: 9th September, 2012

It's in the post title and I think most people already knew that today would be my first venture into the A grade ranks of Master's racing. Courtesy of a little hiccup back in April, this day came a little later than I had been hoping but it finally arrived and while I didn't seem to feel it, the nerves must have been having an affect because the preparation for the race was a complete and utter disaster, but I came out unscathed, intact and very happy with my effort.
