Well after no MTB racing for the last 3 years I had a go at round 2 of the G8 winter series at Thetford. I entered the 2 hour enduro ( Grand Veteran) I believe there were maybe a couple of hundred riders in total. 31 of them in the G vets. Everyone was so good mannered and despite me coming off 4 times in the very muddy conditions everone was so cool about it. It was good manners all round really.
Had quite a few chats with people in the parking area etc it was really good. There are another 2 at Thetford in January, so if anyone is thinking of having a go at racing this is a good non intimidating event, not very technical apart from the mud and one bomb hole which you could avoid.
I managed not to disgrace myself and just got into the upper half of positions. Bike got a little muddy
