Devises @ West Kennett 7th March
Arrived at West Kennett Sunday morning to find the track frozen solid . The club made the decision to delay practise to allow the ground to thaw out a bit.
Practise got under way with riders having to follow a travelling marshall and no overtaking allowed as the track was extremley slippery.
In the race before mine a young lad had a nasty crash which needed the Air Ambulance which meant a lengthy delay , so it was gone 2.30pm by the time I got to the line.
Race 1: Average start , came around the first lap in 16th , rode a steady race to finish a very cold 14th .
Race 2: Track was looking mint by now , only 17 riders appeared at the line for this one , had a poor start , passed a few riders to complete lap one in 13th place , was really enjoying this race and worked my way up to 9th by the end.
Thanks to Jason and the Devises club for sticking with it and running the meeting , I really enjoyed the track , honest Jason.
