This is the most local of the National series for me meaning I was able to sleep in my own bed and have a fairly relaxed race weekend not worrying about getting there on time being only a 1hr drive from my house! The race was on the same circuit that the Primavera was held…
I’d been looking forward to the Minehead Grand Prix for ages. It was a town centre crit and one of the biggest races in the region. I knew it was going to be difficult as lots of the local riders wanted to win here. It was great that it was a really sunny day. Over…
