Ourimbah clubby




zipped out to the track and got there about 830, before the line up started. picked up my free race number(because i won the last round). jumped on the bike to warm up and after hearing about a new bridge and the uncertanity of getting a pinch flat i rode right to the top of the rollercoaster and bombed down it with 60psi in my 1.95kenda klimax tyre, well it held up and the new bridge is super wide, which now promotes more speed to the rock roll in :).




Down to the front row 6 in Agrade...hmmm its gona be a tough day with brad kelly and brock and 3 imports..


off to a crappy start wrong gear (to easy) and didnt clip in... but rudely barged my way to 5th before the climb.. and stayed in touch with the rider in front. watching my HR going stupid.. i went to overtake at the end of jurassic but being right behined him i didnt see the sand and hit the deck all clipped in. back on the bike sighhh..... now i gotta catch him again..


we were very evenly matched in skill and strength i was struggly to see a weakness in this rider on this course.. the graveyard slowed him up tho so i sat on his tail to add pressure before the next fire road were i rode onwards to the next rider and caught him in the short meadows climb rode his tail to timing were he pulls to get a bottle or something alright up into 3rd, wow that was the longest lap ever...


with the thoughts and dreams of riding the croc in october it just gave me the best fuel to push my body. and with the training in my last blog just made me know i can pump it hard..


so i soldered on never letting myself slack off slowly making a gap on 4th.. he got pretty close at the top of the rollercoaster especially when i goofed the rocky climb up... just cant grip the ground with 60psi lol...


but pulled away again slip sliding around but sniling alll the way.. i got a quick glimpse of brock were there track turns back on itself near the start/finish.. hmmm i might be able to catch that freak of a rider.. it can be hard to stay focused when your getting flogged by two downhill racers..


but i keep pushing the body i start to bounce around a bit more due to fatigue and having my heartrate so high.. i rode the last 2laps all on my own no one in front no one behind they could only be 10 seconds in front or behined and most of the time you wouldnt know around ourimbah.


rode to the line in 3rd... VERY HAPPY.




Unsure on lap times but will post them when they have them up.
