Arriving early around 8:00am left me plenty of time to register,get ready and go for a warm up lap with Gaz & Damien.Rode up Demtel in granny not to wear myself out before the race the downhill section after demtel was down the DH berm track which was fun in a little traction way.
Race time got a good spot on the first line of B grade the gun went and I lost places very quickly down to around 8th I could see Gaz ahead managed to overtake a few people up the fireroad climb to the start of the single track.By the time I hit Demtel was feeling good so put the hammer down and overtook Gaz Yes!!.The rest of the race was spent in a train with two others sitting in 3rd until I stacked on a tight corner a bit further on from the magic carpet techie bit twisting my knee I thought I was *%#ked Gaz will overtake any second.Managed to start peddling half normally again hit the finish line keeping 3rd place
One all now ,it's going to be an interesting season

yes people "STOP!".
next time i'll have you mate! i felt good off the start line and quickly went from second to first, you passed me at a demoralising pace on Demtel and i just kind of gave up thinking i'd blow up at that speed! caught you again at the graveyard but lost you again soon after. you were just to strong on that climb mate!
watching you eat all that chocolate and hearing about all the ice cream you'd eaten the night before i thought you'd definately get a sugar flat but i was wrong! i know what ill be having for pre race dinner next time round! watch out!
well done mate, it'll certainly be an interesting season!

Doesnt seem to work for me.

Good racing guys you wernt too far behind the pace for the first two laps Gazza but the front bunch really pulled away on the last two laps.

Will be good to watch the season unfold.

Nice going mate! Who says a strict, monitored diet is needed for success! Must have been all that time in the spa pre race...
Eye-wink

Gazza - secretly I know you were just keeping things interesting by 'letting' him beat you...
