Well, what a treat!
unsurprisingly, the British Rail system ment I missed the womens XC, but I got there in time for the Mens XC. At the start of the race, Roland was down in tenth spot, with England's Liam Killeen leading the charge!
After about the 2nd or 3rd lap, Roland and Seamus began working together and opened a two minute gap on Liam, and New Zealand rider Kashi Leuchs, and kept it till the end of the race, with everyone finishing in that order.
Being at the Commonwealth Games, and soaking up the atmosphere was amasing!
Roland Green was very impressive on the climbs, and made it look like he was on a Sunday ride...
Also though, as with all the whole Games this year, countries like Namibia, and Antiga had riders going around, and the crowds cheered for them as much as for their own riders...respect!
I took quite a few photo's of the event which I'll try and post a little later today...all in all, a great day out!
