No mechanics and turbo trainers here at the National Series. It was a very old school feel at the top of the hill with riders getting their bikes off the back of tractors and then sending it down one of the steepest tracks in the UK
So we need to talk about uplifts. Si Paton was first to put his hand up, as race organiser, to say they made an error with the uplift. It was very slow all weekend and one of the few hiccups in a very well organised race. Si wanted to extend his apology to the riders for this, and assures everyone it will be fixed for next year
The uplift trailers were a bit of an adventure with the long track to ride up to the top. At least the riders were able to take in the views of the Welsh countryside
