The last RBL crit in the series for this year! Watch the onboard footage of how the race went for me doing laps of the kidney bean. I get some video of the podiums and Open race too! Sad that the series is over, but have the rest of the road season to look forward to!
hey everyone again so today’s the last one in the series of the rbl series um it’s gone really quick to be fair so all five done um unfortunately I could only make three out of the five due to other races and things going on but yeah so today’s the last one um I think there only like three people signed up for it in my women’s race so hey it’s an afternoon out the office at least isn’t it so a bit more training anyway but going to get ready get packed and then go bag’s packed bunged in standard sketch just about to leave uh really sunny day so it’s really good uh but everything is a bit windy so we’ll just have to wait and see when we get there just how windy it is around the course but anyway uh packed ready to go so let’s go we’re here so 32 lucky number 32 barely anyone here um [Applause] yeah I don’t know see how it [Applause] goes I’m almost ready right on board footage coming up series at milk Ming uh this is the last of the five yeah 40 minute plus three laps okay okay 3 2 1 go so this is just the first lap uh in its entirety of the course um of course you know what it looks like anyway but yeah this will be the first entire lap but went off pretty steady the um tactics if want call that well it wasn’t really tactics but we were just going to do a bit through and off like us three girls so me Emily and ktie the ATC Army Rider there in front of me um we just going to going to plan on just practicing a bit of like through and off sort of stuff so yeah keep watching and you’ll see us all sort of um just change change position obviously as you can see we also set off with the with the guys as well uh just because our field is obviously so small it just made sense to to be put in with those those guys um pretty steady to begin with finding a bit of the Rhythm there with Emily on the front um but yeah just going around uh thr and off changing conditions and just practicing riding together really but yeah so first all thatp is almost almost done finished [Applause] [Applause] there we go that’s the first lap done um Emily is well we’re coming through now around with her she’s peed up to the side to let us go through and um yeah so me and K are just uh going on the front now and so I’m still following the will and and was like I said just to keep rotating through I think we ended up doing about a lap each with uh one of or each one of us on the front uh so Tak in turns to do an entire lap and um making sure that we weren’t dropping each other so always check like checking back as well just to make sure that we were keeping um Wheels close to each other and not dropping um each other too much or anything like that um just to try to get used to riding with each other like I said we’re just using this session as a bit more of a a training session um just cuz well we don’t really get to a ride with each other really so um but as you can see we’re just going around this um this right hand Bend which is at the bottom of the of the course and this is like an uphill sort of finish uh going to the finish line now and um we’ll get over this to of this drag and then I should be coming through around 18 [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] yeah just seeing py flick her elbow so then I just came through as she ped off and then well now you get the joy of watching me sat on the front with not a lot else really going on um but yeah that’s kind of how it went down for the rest of of the race now really um so yeah I’ll capture a few other scenes of us uh different parts of the [Applause] course all right well sorry send it you want to send it let’s send it we’re going to send it so yeah towards the uh end there I think it was with about three laps plus I don’t know 5 minutes whatever the hell it was um KY and I decided that we wanted to daily send it for a little rip around actually uh get a bit of racing done so that’s basically what happened um we went full send for the last I know 5 10 minutes of this race so um became a little bit more tactical in that way um I think because there still there may be a few only a few laps left we followed each other’s Wheels but then as um you’ll see in a minute um I basically didn’t come through CU I knew that it would end up in a Sprint finish but um yeah we’ll get to start in just just a minute okay so here is the final corner of our little two-up race we had as you see Kate was looking back there um um just to check see what I was doing just over taking em there on on the right hand side as you can see she’s checking to see what I’m doing I’m almost sort of side by side uh coming up to the final final little climb here to the finish line and she’s just started to try and get outside on Sprint up his climb um I knew it would happen anyway so I was kind of prepared for this as you can see I’m matching a effort now I’m overtaking her and just trying to do a full out effort to to get to that finish line and um luckily I managed to to beat her yeah yeah [Applause] good guys your winners of the sorry the top three of the men’s race [Applause] fours get low get low thank you and last but no means least the top three of the women’s race Laura ktie and Emily we’ll get it number [Applause] made [Applause] it right I’ve handed my number back and now walking back to the start Finish Line go watch The Lads finish their race hours is 40 minutes plus three come on Danny and the guys is an hour [Applause] [Music] long that’s one Craig it’s been split up now what looks a bit few [Applause] sters think this was just the full field today so well 10 guys so at least they get full points and this weather can’t make up his mind it’s bling Sunny then it’s gray and cold and sunny again got my coat on anyway nice one [Applause] Sam here’s a start finish time we’re getting there [Applause] no oh yeah here we [Applause] [Applause] come say [Applause] sam in second place Danny oh yeah and then in first place [Applause] M so that’s it that’s the rbl series are wrapped up now all five are done it’s a bit of a shame really but it had to come to an end at some point um the race went pretty well to be fair I mean it was more of a training session to begin with there was only three of us it was me Emily and Katie who’s an army Rider we all decided at the beginning just to practice a bit of thr and off and we all took it on turns at the front going around like a lap each sort of thing and then um we got to about um 35 minutes in about 5 minutes plus three laps left and ktie said to me do you want to go full send I was like yeah let’s go full send so um we just a bit a tour up between us to um until the end and then I managed to outsprint her at the end and get the wind for that one so that was pretty cool um and then watch the bles do their race um got be confused cuz I had to pop back to the van and get ready and stuff but um it looked like a hard race he all said it was pretty hard to be fair but yeah so that was cool um but yeah it’s all done and justed now no more I’ll be out until next year um that’s that’s it yeah so I’ve I’ve sorted my life out a little bit um just going to chill out get horizontal next race into service crit Champs on Saturday so so stay tuned for that one that will be interesting I think or I’m going to get my red my legs ripped off so yeah legs definitely going to come off on that one stay
