Barry..... looking cool!!!
By Barry Harvey
I did my first cross race this year on a lovely sunday morning in Brighton.
There was a large field of 100 riders, with all the big riders from Sigma Sport and Hargroves getting to start at the front of the field. The course zig zagged through stanmer park field before heading into the woods for some technical single track. Then there was a steep fireroad heading into more woods and then back into the field for some fast grassy corners before the finish.
Having done nearly next to no training due to work commitments I suffered big time, keeping up with the best of them for one lap then fading away to 50th place.
It's a great sport and cheap compared to racing at Goodwood, so let's get some more Blazing Saddles kit on show next year.
