Eastern CX CC Ashwell

Tough weekend on racing at the Eastern Cross round 5 run by CC Ashwell. Dean was running solidly in the top 10 on his Travers DIRTi for the first time this season when on lap 6 his seat clamp snapped and a rear wheel puncture at the furthest point on the course. I dropped the seatpost on my RUSSTi 27.5+ and swapped bike in the pits. Dean had never ridden the bike before, it was too big for him and it wasnt a CX bike but still he lapped within 1-2 seconds of the lap before he punctured!

Amazing ride, solid performance picking up points when you can, even when things go wrong are key to a CX season, this result moves Dean up to 3rd place overall in the Seniors Eastern CX league.
