After being without a mtb for 6 months my new trek arrived the week before the convict, so what better place for a first ride then a race. I've been keeping fit on the road bike while the mtb was on order, however after the bobbin head classic I came down with shingles which kept me off the bike for 4 weeks.

I decided last year(my first year in cycling) that CP2015 would be my first race ever. I trained well all summer, lost 6kg since New Years, but still had my doubts that I would finish/hold people up/embarrass myself.
