Craig was bragging that he would not be beaten by Becky Cook. It just wasnt going to happen. He had been watching Becky on youtube and thought it was no problem.

Becky's confident smile and even more confident riding on the first section got Craig worried. We had a fiver one it so Craig had to dig deep. Becky doesn't look worried :)

As we rode on from this group I stopped to take a few photos. Jersey is famous for its potatos and believe me , they are certainly growing quite a few. Fields, gardens hillsides , backgardens and valleys are all covered in potato fields. In the 2nd photo workers cover the crop with polythene to trap the moisture in and increase the heat build up.
You see, you even get the low down on potato cultivation on Retrotrials.com :)

Craig powers out in third gear on the expert route , up the bank. The spectator runs for cover as a roost of cow muck shoots out the back.
