What a great weekend . We only had one team to beat , that being our sister team of Cadence & Co Black.
After our first 4 laps there was only a second separating us . We were lucky to get through the next 4 with a carbon rim pulling spokes and showing severe signs of stress . This left 3 Leftys and only 2 front wheels . I couldn't help being on a Superfly. .The boys managed to change between the laps for the next 14 hrs.

This being my first 100 I was unsure of an exact time to aim for but was hoping to go under 6 hrs as I had been doing in training.I started at the back of the second group and just sat on wheels around the golf course and into the first decent.
The first bog came upend I saw someone in front go OTB when their front wheel stopped.The rider briefing ringing in my ears ,ALL creeks are rideable.The rest of the first 20 km were pretty uneventful.After we crossed The main road I lost all the low gears ,then to make it abit harder the fast rings went as well.

Has anyone ridden at ourimbah today. Im thiking about heading up for the xc tomorrow, but if its a slopfest I will give it a miss,stick to the road & save it all for next weekend. Cheers
