Getting into gear

Started the warm up to the race season with a couple of local bike races. The Ixworth crits is a great event in which the whole village is closed off to create a tight cornered circuit with great crowd support. Because of its notoriously tight corners and fast pace the race attracts plenty of competition.
 After a dodgy first lap I decided I needed to stop worrying about the corners and put the gas down. I managed to secure a comfortable win in the womens race.
 This prepped me well for my first stab at the Lotus elite race series. My aim was to stay with the pack for as long as I could as good training in a fast group environment. I stayed with the main bunch for the whole race and it was great fun.

Next up is the British Age group sprint champs....
