The British Cycling / Lloyds Bank National Cyclo-cross Championships was always going to be the arena for the high quality cock-up in my 2025-26 laugh of a season. Watch and learn, as Dave turns a 3rd row start initially into something potentially great, then whittles it away, as his AXS shifter battery fails, then he mooches about in the pits trying to sort out his spare bike’s rear mech, because the replacement parts from Irvine’s own gargantuan cock-up race haven’t arrived yeat, and Dave’s spare bike isn’t adequately prepared.
It was my 56th biththday yesterday and I didn’t even have a beer. So if you read this far, please leave me a comment, at the very least.

Bad luck Dave : (
Bloody electric ey. Lovely when it works
Happy birthday Dave, and mechanical gears also work fine, just saying.
