We hit up Ipswich yesterday for the last but one round of the EA winter series,F1 was a pretty stacked group with some fast riders out there,Lee Alexander was back after some back trouble along with 'Hilly',Lilly,Tricker,Robbie Goodman,Shaun 'the mangler' Andrews,Rich Townsend,Johnny Roberts too along with me Jools Allen,Gav Stokes,Darren Foreman and co,18 riders meant we had semi,2 riders to go from the motos,couldnt quite get into it as per usual,need to snap out of this shizzle big time and just show some god damn commitment,got a 5th in the first moto,followed by a 4th and 2x 2nds but just wasnt feeling it,made the semi and to be honest looking at it I could have done with a crash to help me through,harsh maybe....but true,starght out the gate Lee Alex knocks bars with me both of us get caught behind the Ipswich lads of Andrews,Lillingstone and Goodman,my prayers were answered as we hit the first berm as Lillingstone and Goodman both went down,I cruised through to take the second place behind Shaun until the very next jump.....got squirly coming out of the bombhole and just lost it....under no pressure at all...just cocked it right up,picked the bike up ready to go but as I untwisted and straightened my bars lee Alex went past and grabbed the 4th place needed....'B' Final beckoned....managed a 4th in the 'B'...had a bit of a battle with Gav Stokes as he took me down the 2nd straight but I pulled him on the last....good race......just poor commitment from me.....again.
Kids done OK,Leon looked pretty good for someone that never rides his bike,think he must have finished in 4th or 5th overall...but had some good battles with Taylor Andrews,
Kelsey won her 'B' final after out pumping on the 2nd last straight and moving on the inside....great move for her.
Next stop Peterborough next weekend.....maybe I might just get my jump on but somehow.....mmmm
