Andy & Adams foreign legion

Andys racing trip to Belgium - 06/08/2006 - Zingem & Waterschei

Andy spent the weekend racing with former team mate Adam Mitchell who is now based in Preston. Here is Andy's breif race diary from the weekend....

'Got on pretty well at the weekend. On the Sunday I was 29th which I was really pleased with (top 30 is in the money)! There was a ‘pro’ Agisko rider in the field who lasted about half distance. I know everytime I was really hurting I would look up and see a Preston CC Jersey off the front.

On the Monday I was really suffering and the circuit didn’t help – 45 laps of a 3km circuit. The coolest part was that a Marquee with a bar and disco had been constructed over the road with the race passing through it. Adam did a storming ride to claim 19th, and considering there was a Davitamon Lotto rider in the race (who didn’t finish) that is a really excellent result. I was spat out of the main field with 6 laps to go'.
