SXC 2007 Round 1 - Laggan
Sunday just past saw the first round of the SXC series at Laggan. It used the same course as last year apart from a new boggy section that replaced a very fast section of singletrack, but cut out some fireroad. This boggy section was rideable apart from a middle section which was quicker to run. There was also a huge deep puddle on exit, which caught a few people out.
For the third year I was riding expert, and having just come back from Cyprus, I we feeling good. As good as I was feeling, the standard was definitely up this year. I came in 11th, 18 minutes down on the winner. 7 laps didn’t seem much harder than the 6 we did last year, and I came away feeling fairly pleased with my efforts, and having something higher to aim for next time.
I will get some photos up soon, but for the moment you can look at my (almost) complete 2007 race build.
