very happy to pick up first place for d grade cross country at ccomtb, had an amazing first year club racing, absolutely fantastic, if anyone was thinking of doing races next year i would highly recommend ccomtb, the guys there do a great job of running the races plus the ourimbah course is just awesome, friendly atmosphere and good people. so just a quick wrap up of how my races went-

race 1- never ridden at ourimbah and started out near the back, just as we got the go it poured down, heavily! 30 bucks to race and 250 bucks to fix up the bike afterwards! (won't be doing that again), think i came in around eighth.
race 2- went sweet, position second.
race 3= demtel hill challenge, killer of a hill but good race, position second
race 4- had a nightmare! non driveside crank arm decided to just fall off! so ended up in eleventh.
race 5- short course, a series of three shorter loops, position third.
race 6- cancelled
race 7- night race, slipped up and took a wrong turn on one of the laps and got penalised, so ended up in third
race 8- my first win!!!
race 9- reverse loop, loved this one it was like riding a new course in the same place!
race 10- 6 hour enduro, really hot really hard but managed 7 laps

so as you can see i wasn't always the fastest but i almost think that racing a whole season like this is as much about consistency as it is about being first to the line,and the d grade field wasn't huge either but at race 9 it was neck and neck for points, so it all came down to the last race, which was such a buzz racing for something like that, so all in all, so stoked to have won and that shiny new trophy that now sits by my t.v. looks ultra cool! so the plan for now is just a couple of social rides 'till christmas then hit the training hard from jan onwards, cannot wait for next year.
C GRADE, BRING IT ON!

Really? You sure? I thought I would have been pushing it for third or second. Would be awesome if true though, currently sat in a delivery room with the other half.. Today looks like we get another prize Smiling
