DRY AND VERY VERY WARM AND SUNNY WEEKEND.
 Kidder & Chiefy had a fantastic weekend camping at the Trek marathon series held in Thetford Forest. The sun was out and the temperature climbed, also no wind but plenty of dust Kidder went in for the 25km event and Chiefy the 50km event. There was a good turn out for the Sundays racing, but the pair had slightly thick heads from the night before. To much red wine and steaks, typical of them to lord it up before a race.

~Start~
A clean get-away for the pair as both the 25km and 50km set off together. Kidder and Chiefy managed to make up quite a few places after starting from the back of the pack. It all slowed up for a bit in the twisty single-track section, but the pair still managed to pass by a few more riders. Once onto the fire road Kidder hit the big ring and Chiefy followed for a short time but then let his team mate fly away. Chiefy set his pace for the four laps around this fast and hot forest track.

The pair had a great ride with no mechanical problems and when Kidder finished his race he stayed on the finish line  like a good team mate to give encourage to Chiefy. After the race the pair chilled-out with another bottle of red wine and more BBQ food. The pair had a nice relaxing evening by the camp fire as everyone else went home.		 'Kidder warming up'

'Chiefy 3 laps in the bag & 1 more to go'
