Cannock chase course preview, National Xc Round 3!

Sorry about the audio, of course I am in a big rush to post this before the race and I accidentally downloaded the video with a song, hope you understand.

You made those A-lines look easy! I went OTB on the third tech section in my practice lap so opted for the B-line on that one. Thanks for the video 👍

Hi Ben, I am Peter, the guy you chatted with at the start (I think!!). Hope you enjoyed the race. I rode the new drop fine in practice and then absolutely obliterated on lap one (cracked helmet, ripped jersey, lucky I could carry on and hadn't fractured my collarbone haha). I hadn't done enough skills practice generally. Humble pie for me :)

@@specialblorbno worries, I tore a ligament in my ankle aswell, tough course!

[@SamGenazzini]

Thanks! Yeah same of the course was very hard, how was your race?

[@specialblorb]

I had a nightmare of a race! My saddle fell off on lap two and I had to ride with it in my jersey pocket, and walk quite a lot, until I found a spectator with some Allen keys that fitted, to reattach it. Then on lap 3 I got bucked off by a little root jump because I was tired. I landed on some logs and a stump outside the race tape and I initially thought I'd broken a collar bone but it turned out to be just winded and bruised. I was pretty shaken up though and decided to drop out. My first ever DNF 😥 Totally agree it was a very tough course 😂 I guess it's good to see the national series really setting the standard. I'm keen to get back on the starting line ASAP though!
