Time to update, Finishing off season in Europe. Part 1


So ive finally got some free time to update my blog. Ill try write up about some of the races but not all as ive already been racing for almost 2 months back in Europe so ill keep it short with more photos ( i prefer that ) Lets start with my first race back, Germany




The weather forecast always seems to do the complete opposite in Germany. The day of the race apparently meant to be brief showers, nope BIG storm. Along with a crash on the Autobahn which made us late for the race, it wasn’t a good start. 



The race was on a very short Criterium course, so basically all cornering not much space for overtaking. Starting from the back I managed over the race to make it to front of peleton but a breakaway group had already split off the front. 



From then I pulled a little at the front but didn't have much for the sprint at the end and came in 30th. Got to say this race really tested my nerves coming into some sharp corners in the pouring rain at 60 + just had to have faith/luck that my tyres would stick to the ground.
