Cardigan Street Circuit Recce


Today was spent on the rollers and travelling from Haverfordwest over the Preselis to Cardigan to recce tomorrow's street circuit with my Mum and Grandmother.


The Smithfield Nocturne this year gave me a pretty helpful taste of street circuit racing. The Cardigan circuit that I'll be doing tomorrow is about a 2 minute lap at race pace I would estimate; I was doing 2:30 in and out of traffic.

I also got to test out my new wheels and tubs to check that everything's bedded in nicely.


I did about 15 laps of the circuit to give me a heads-up on the best lines to take tomorrow.
I bumped into event organiser Keith at BikeBikeBike the LBS. (Local Bike Shop to the un-initiated).
The published pre-entry of 17 has gone up a bit and we're expecting a field of around 40 for the Elite Race tomorrow. Can't wait.
