Last weekend the team were in the Midlands and Matt took the first podium of the year - third in the Masters race. Here's his very brief report - he asked me to flower it out a bit but I'll let you fill in the gaps - Matt prefers to let his pedals do the talking!
"I’m pants at writing stuff so I thought that if I passed on some info you’d be able to make it sound good!
Ruth got the win in the Expert women’s, Christian was fourth in the Expert men’s.
Warm weather, cool course, very fast with attacking climbs and fast singletrack which showed the difference between mountain bikers and roadies. Tyres worked fantastically on the dusty ground, Karma on the front and Small Block 8 rear. Standard tyres run tubeless that worked just fine.
Next event for me is the Enduro 6 with Christian (Pairs) this Sunday them I’m off to the Pyrenees for some hill training… good times…
Not at the next round of the nationals I’ll be in the sun, but that is balanced out by the pants weather forecast given for Sunday. Oh well, to coin Christians phrase; 'Win or Die (of hypothermia) trying…'
Finally, in an update from Germany: Dibbers (Martyn) is doing 50 miles each morning and when he isn’t riding he’s climbing grades 5 to 6 out door routes on the local crags… He’s going to come back twice as fast as he left!"
So, that’s the word from inside the Yeti UK camp. Not sure what to worry about more; Brookside smashing the miles in or Fatty off to the Pyrenees. Guess we’d all benefit from turning the pedals hard and therefore avoiding the wooden spoon of slowest rider at the next race!
