WMBS RD4 Nant yr Arian
The past weekend me and the family headed to Nant yr Arian near aberystwyth for the final round of the WMBS, coming into this I had a lead of 3 points to Craig so I needed to finish in at least 3rd to hold on to the overall series win, I did my practise laps on the Saturday so I didn't have to ride before the race and just warm up after warming up I headed to the start i
had a good start and led all the way up the main climb but Craig jumped ahead
just before the singletrack, we quickly opened up a good gap to third place, i
then overtook and led for the majority of the lap pushing on the descents and
on the short really steep uphill climbs, we stayed together for the next 2 laps attacking
each other trying to get away until the second descent on the third lap where i
dropped my chain and Craig managed to get a bit of a gap, i pushed on and
managed to catch him by the top of the climb and was able to be back in
contention for the win, we didn’t attack much on the last lap but took it in
turns doing the least work possible for the first half of the last lap, I then
wanted to lead into the really steep and technical ascent so attacked before it
but Craig pushed his way back through and he was leading up the technical
climb, after the climb he seemed to be abit tired and I attacked him over the
top and back down into the final descent, i had opened up enough of a gap to
then hold Craig off and take the win and also the overall series.
