Okay as you know Ive been scumming it for quite some time now. At the end of the training in March it looked all fine and dandy for the 3Peaks, that didn't eventuate but thats another story...

I was a nervous as anything in anticipation of riding Ourimbah and considering I had done three laps of the Dam in the last six months and that was only last week and that was alos my total off road riding for the last six months.

The race started off pretty well decided to jump into the front section of the 2nd pack of 50km riders.

I managed to get in a train of 10 riders and we flew down the first 10km of dirt and gravel. Not having a speedo or any technical wizardry or anything like that I estimated it was 28km hr average as we reached the start of the first hill in just over 20mins which was 10km away. Until the first hill that dreaded first hill!
