Since we skipped Mercer last weekend in favour of family time away from motocross we headed to Cambridge this morning for something different. I haven’t ridden here for a while and the track looked great, it’s been made wider in some areas and the super soggy parts that didn’t drain well look like they have been fixed up. We got through practice and half of race 1 before the rain came and with each ride the track got deeper and so slippery. Even though this was a really hard day – physically and mentally – I completed every race in Pro65 and 8-12 85s, I even won one of the Pro65 races which felt really good. 2-1-3 for second overall in the 65s and 9-5-3 for fifth overall in the 85s. I got stuck in the mud, rode into the drain (which was full of water), and had goggle issues but I pushed myself and my little wheels to the limit knowing that the 10 minute race would be over soon and while I love riding I was so glad when today was over. I’m glad I have people around me who have taught me how to see the silver lining in these not very positive days because it keeps me level and gives me new things to focus on at training to become a better well rounded rider. Today I learnt that if this is what Europe is like I need to get a goggle guy!!
