Shorts, short sleeves, red faces, dehydration and sunburn!! Well no sunburn, but it was sooo hot and sooo not like October. Round one of the Thetford enduro got off to a flying start with 250 competitors sweating their way around the 'other side' of the road. Bone dry singletrack, packed down berms, sandy bits and a ......climb!!! the short 10.2km course made for some fast exciting racing. probably the toughest course I've ever ridden at Thetford, me and almost everyone else complained of back pain, neck pain, sore feet. Legs not so bad but everything else smashed to a pulp.

I took 4th in the vets, so far this year a podium has eluded me. 8th,6th and 5th in the Meridas, I have my podium shirt packed and ready for later in the year;) parkaboy
