More racing and new jerseys
Round three of the Gorrick spring series was run in lovely spring conditions at the original Gorrick venue of Crowthorne Wood. As per usual, us Masters set off at 9.45 the weather cool but the fun, winding course in excellent condition. Also as usual, Steve blasted off at the front of the pack, settling in at the back of a leading group of four riders for the first two of three laps. On the final he picked off a couple of riders to give him second on the finish line, and the same spot in the series.

Dom unfortunately couldn't make it this week, and neither Grant nor I were able to sufficiently fill the hole left by his absence - both coming in with mid-pack finishes. The number 1 board is a result of having a surname starting with A rather than series standing... It's early days yet though and both of us felt a lot better this weekend than the prior round. Now the sun is shining occasionally a few more training miles should see some improvement.

The jersey I'm wearing in the photo above is a sample of a batch we will soon have in. The colours need to be tweaked a little but they are very high quality Italian made jerseys, plus they have a few nice extra little details which weren't on the first jerseys. We should have these available for sale in a month or so.
