A great ride at Rogershill Raceway yesterday wracking up 3 hours around the MX track. I have to say it was real hard work early on as I was riding way too tense, resulting in arm pump, but after about 30 minutes I started to relax a bit and it got easier. Until the end that is when I started to flag a bit so lots more hard work and training to do.
After riding a Track n Trail enduro practice a week or so back for 3 and half hours at a good pace I have to admit I thought 3 hours around the MX track would be easier, but boy was I wrong and I certainly need to adjust my racing lines and style to give myself a less punishing ride and conserve energy. I also practised timing myself per lap and trying to keep the same pace. I do this with the stop watch taped to my cross bar pad, and just choosing a place on the track where I am slow enough each lap to read it.
Anyway loads learnt, and time to step it up both on and off the track
