It wasn't a bad day for me.  Maybe I was a bit too cautious going into the slick corners but it was a good experience and I made some changes on the bike that I'd never done before but it seemed to work quite well on the slick track.  I felt I made a step up on a small track.  My starts seemed to work really well but I need to take this on to Boston so I can score maximum points!!!  I scored 7.5 from 5 rides.  I was 3rd in the first race and got 2.5 points from the 2nd race which I thought I had just got but the Ref thought it was a dead heat.  In the 3rd race I came 2nd again.  In the 4th race me and my team mate needed to decide who was going to take a tactical ride and I chose my team mate to do it because I watched my team mate race in his last 2 races and he did well so I thought he may make the start better than me and stand a good chance but unfortunately it was the other way round and I made the start and was in 2nd but I looked behind to see where my team mate was and I must have slowed down a bit and dropped back to 3rd quickly and I had to let my team mate past to challenge the rider in front to get the double points so I came last.  In the final race I made a brilliant start and was out in front after my team mate was trying to push me harder on the slick corners to help me and stop me from dropping back but unfortunately one of the Rye House riders fell and the race was stopped.  In the rerun I did make the start but not quite good enough to keep in tight and I fell back to 3rd.  Then my team mate fell and I went past him before he remounted so I came 2nd.
