Northern Downhill Trail Bike Downhill 6th May

Only one member of the team raced here (I, Scott Woolley) ,Hamsterley Forest in County Durham.
This was the second Northern Downhill race i have raced and it was a great event on a great track.

Course walk was at  8am so there was an early 6am starrt to the day. First impressions of the course were good as it looked nice and pedally for me as a cross-country rider. 9am was first practice run and i felt fast on the course.

1pm race run. I was the 5th man down the hill and had the current fastest time by more than 35 seconds which was huge. And i held the lead with that time in youth. However as there was small numbers at this race the podiums where just fastest under 18's and fastest man and woman. after all the juniors came down i was in 2nd place 11 seconds ahead of 3rd and 2 seconds behind 1st on the 4 minute track.
