The end of 2009>>>>>the end of my blog...
2007 running of the fling i made it to my 1st enduro poduim, then was thrown into emergancy the following jan,,,, 2009 comes around and with all the dramas before hand i sourced a bike the day before.. from THE EDGE CYCLES i got a sweet scott spark,,, an awesome bike for a marathon race as u can tune it to the terrain while riding,,, in a mad panic i was on the starting grid in my boardies i took it relaxed and rode with the big boys till the hill,, 4th place behined perran any blair and the verminator not bad eh... will hit this one full pace next year 4 sure..
The main event>>> it was all about building a bigger hurt box and smashing it to pieces to force everyone to ride over the splinters,... chaos began wen we all got lost... was top 20 now well over a 100 back so i got dirty and did every thing
(cx style) to get thru the shit.... now i had no idea of my position and dirty on al my hard work going to waste,, so i just rode my arse off... it was wicked to spend some time riding with willo and andy blair they really helped me along.. so i posted 5hrs 6min for a 3rd place.. back on the poduim and so ends the journey of my blog,,,
kona 24...
wow just the best time of my life.... i was worried as i looked like a new person, signing a deal with scv imports had me on a turner flux (its like a v8 cloud) has the power but so smooth..
it was in forrest 1100kms from home just me and my team mate matt reekie, with continental tyres keeping us upright rudy project had control of the safety on our head and our eyes (hated those blackboy plants) torq nutrition kept us running plus the odd anzac biscuit from holbrook bakery...
so there is lots to talk about here, ill keep it super brief im sorry...
there was mud and some mud to many log roll overs but the best berms ever some more mud, and thanks to light and motion for giving me something to chase till the sunrise...
i had some time off the bike due to some dramas but i managed 19 laps and finish after midday so my sister could see me ride the full 24hrs i made it across the line in a fit of tears but i did it,
MATT WE DID IT.... no surpport crew at all, so now we have kona as our own inspiration to acheive anything.. and we both have made it to worlds,,,
so im just cruzing about teaching and riding my ss..
merry xmas everyone watch this space for the new TEAM TURNER BLOG IN 2010.
just CHOPS :)
