I was very excited to be back on the bike for another year of racing. The first stop of this season was round 1 of the British Downhill Series. This would be a step up for me with more points on offer, but also I would be racing in the youth group. The event itself was very well organised with many big brands showing off their latest kit, with lots of goodies given away. The track resembled the course I rode at Kidland the previous season; tight and steep corners with rocks and drops to keep you on your toes, but with the addition of an exhausting fire road section. The track was made more difficult with Sundays sloppy conditions, and I finished 25th out of 29 overall. I am pleased with this result for my first race against a higher level of competition and I look forward to BDS round 2 at Moelfre.
