WINNER.. by default....
how it went down.... it was a short course on sunday over 3 stages.
stage 1 went up the fire road climb>burnt forrest>rollercoaster.. there was 5 of us on the start line brad kelly was there so i was just aiming for second ive seen him beat hamish elliot around this track so hes a tad quick.. another guy in boardies singlet and bucket nut hard to take him serious but hes bike was very expensive so i didnt judge his ability.. just as well they both made me look like a punter, both out of sight in 3mins of riding...
stage 2 same course but in reverse...by now the mud you were coated in was drying on your legs very crap conditions.. brad and his mate brock(national dh champ so i was told) both bailed didnt mind at all made things very easy for me to win.. the other 2 riders stayed in touch but i stayed out of reach just enough..
stage 3 was the graveyard and some in reverse.. brad and brock came back to ride this one.. i stayed with them on the fireroad start but i miss judged the holeshot because i didnt know it was there and was stuck in top chain ring, completly lost contact with them then.. in lap 2 i crashed by turn off the fireroad into the single track in the sand and trees very sore now with my pedal smashing my calfmuscle badly...
so came 3rd but won the day because i raced all 3 races i guess...
now to recover chew on lots of endura optimizer buy some new bike shoes cause ive broken the souls in mine.. hmmm maybe new cassette and chain for dirtworks..
i never rode with the kenda on in the wet.. on the right track and day it will be good (the fling).
ill be in touch..
CHOPS;)
