Suffolk Cycle Race Series

A small goal for this year was to win the 'Suffolk Cycle Race Series' which is held at Trinity Park. It is an hour long crit on a relatively technical course so it suited to my cyclo-cross background, this was shown by my results in the series:

Cycle Series 1 3rd
Cycle Series 2 2nd
Cycle Series 3 4th
Cycle Series 4 1st
Cycle Series 5 1st
Cycle Series 6 DNF                                                              

Cycle Series 4- 1st 
I had fantastic form for all of the races and was very happy to win the series overall. In the final race of the series I was in a break with one other rider, had a 15 second lead heading into the penultimate corner... *BANG* what a fantastic time for my tire to explode. Despite my best impression of Usain Bolt running to the finish I was caught by the main field.

Now the series is complete my week is now built around training to complete my hardest goal of the year which is to win an E/1/2/3. I have a good foundation to build on but still have a lot of work to do in August to become strong enough to win an elite race. My other goals for the season are almost completed as I only have 29 points left to get my 1st cat and 4 wins out of 5.
This weekend I have what is likely to be my last 2/3/4 for years (hopefully longer). It is set up perfectly as a win would give me 30 points and complete 2 of my goals for the year!
