Just thought id start off my second blog with my trip up to Scotland for the first British national.  I flew out of LA on Thursday afternoon and then arrived in London at 6 in the morning Friday to a beautiful English summers day. It was just a bit of a shame that I then had to drive 8 hours up to ae forest Scotland.

When we got there we walked the track and I was surprisingly  happy with how the track looked, it was dry and looked like it would be fun to ride.  I rode practice on Saturday and felt really good on my demo 8. The track was dry and  rolling well. I was running the new specialized butcher tyres and loving them, really happy with how they have turned out. It was just a bit of a shame that it started raining which ruined the track making it really boggy and slow. I was gutted.  Still, got my race run underway and all went well. Just going back to my best excuse, lack of power. I hit all my lines and felt good on my bike just felt like I was loosing time on all the boggy straights.

Ended up 4th In the end, not to bad as last year i got beaten by every man and his dog on this track, so I guess its all progression.  Just stoked got the 3 pedalling tracks out the way now looking to get my first world cup win and join Sam on the podium for the overall at the end of the year. 

Happy though, I know im riding well and happy with my bike and looking forward to the following world cups coming up.
