Last weekend was round three of the 2012 World Cup series at
Fort William in Scotland. This is my third visit to the venue for World Cup
competition and I was excited and nervous. I really like Fort William as a
venue and a track. It gets the biggest crowds of any World Cup races and had
over 30000 visitor tickets sold this year.
I really enjoyed practise on the track. I was dry for Friday
and Saturday and the track was running supper fast and rough. I had a great
qualifying run and came down with a 4.49.084. This put me in to 49th
place. I was so happy to have such a good result in qualifying and was excited
to be riding in Sundays final.
Rain over night was pretty exciting as I love riding in the
wet. The rain dose weird things to the track in Scotland. It makes some parts
of the track grippy and some more slippery. One thing for sure is that the
muddy woods section is very slippery!
