Juice lubes jam, SW champs and Stover race

The weekend started with the Juice Lubes jam, me and Patsy were ready for our 3 hour pairs race. At 10 o'clock the race started and Patsy zoomed off, I then got prepared for the change over 30 minutes later. After three hours of relay, Patsy came in from her last lap and we had finished, managing to be 2nd in the Senior pairs and beating grown men! Thank you Juice Lubes for our great prizes!
After the presentation, Patsy, Lucy, Fin, Chris and I went off to watch the 6 hour racers brace the bear pit. We then spent the last few hours of the race sat on the B line eating sweets, nearly rolling a tree down the hill and revising for Fin's math test on Monday.
Later that evening the hot laps started and after a long battle Ruby finally beat me by 3 seconds. 
When Sunday came it was another early start for the hour race. I have to say that I was quite tired from the day before and  at the end of the race I could have easily slept for a week! Thank you Juice Lubes again for the prizes. Also, thanks to Silverfish for my amazing bike and Gareth from Bike Space for servicing it.
Monday then came quickly after a brilliant weekend and good nights sleep! It was time for the last race on my 3 race streak. The course at Stover School was really fun and I even got to race against another girl! After the 30 minute race I had to agree with Freddy's comment to me "Evie you must be dead after yesterday and the day before!". 
Thank you again to Maddie and Jay, Juice Lubes, Silverfish, Gareth and the organisers of the Stover race, Andy Parker and Justin Knox.
