Top day for a ride and good to meet some new people. The pace wasn't as fast as I feared it might of been but gave me a good workout. (lucky for me I didn't scum it for 90 odd ks yesterday) Special thanks to Tien and Buck for a leg relaxing break while we waited for the ambo. Hope all is ok Tien. See you all next weekend?

My first enduro event and 2nd mtb race meet. I arrived on Saturday arvo about 5, signed on, no number plate . Cold pizza and red bull for breakfast had me all fired up. I was expecting around an 8hr finish time and was stoked with sub 7hrs (also stoked to beat my brother)
The ride from the top of the 1st walk to the canoe bridge was awsome, I rode the bridge also saw a guy make 3 attempts, then he passed me on the womerah range trail. I started to cramp on the road section after the bridge but decided to spin it out.

not knowing what to expect on the day I arrived a bit early, found out the difference between the top and bottom car park(about a 500m hill climb ) After rego and a bit of a wait it was game on. Not to bad a start but i suffered on the climbs, that really showed me where i need to work, could pull away from riders on a d/h section and hold my own on the flat but got smashed on the ups. Have realised a free beer(wedding) isn't ideal preperation and have just found out i have another free beer (50th) before rd3. glad i started this racing caper and looking foward to the rest of the year.
