Came into this race thinking this is going to suck found out on Friday that my rear race wheel had a big crack in it rendering it useless so borrowed a wheel from my freeride bike at around 300g heavier wasn't impressed.Got to the start late had to jump the fence towards the front to get a reasonable spot,the start gun went off and so did I needed to catch mates who were up front .The first stage was great not too hard with some great new single track.Second stage was still good fun with single track and monster fire road climbs,third stage was torture cramps were starting to be a concern had to back off the peddle pressure and do a lot of spinning plus the new route was really hard wasn't ready for that.So glad to see the finish I had enough.Thought the course was so much better than previous years so much harder really tested me

Hey Steve,
I don't know how you do it - top result (again) and outstanding time. You're a legend!
I enjoyed the single track too - was generally good and flowing, and got fairly clear runs through most of it.
I would have liked to have a bit more in the tank for the end though, that new section was pretty good except for that sadistic long grassy hill they threw in for us!
